New Era in Timber Protection: Postsaver Partners with Global Machinery Leader Wood-Mizer

A groundbreaking partnership between UK-based business Postsaver and global sawmilling and wood processing manufacturer Wood-Mizer is set to revolutionise the wood and fencing industry.

This collaboration combines Postsaver’s innovative, guaranteed rot prevention products with Wood-Mizer’s advanced engineering expertise to create the PostMizer machine - a custom-built application system designed to protect timber posts against rot and boost growth of wood sales.

Revolutionising the Wood Processing Industry

This partnership tackles a key challenge in the timber industry: strengthening wood’s market position and driving growth amid increasing competition from alternative materials. By enabling timber producers to offer guaranteed long-life posts, Postsaver and Wood-Mizer are empowering the industry to reclaim its competitive edge.

Postsaver’s Pro-Sleeve and Pro-Sleeve +PLUS rot protectors promise a guaranteed lifespan of 20 and 40-years respectively, giving timber producers the ability to offer a truly premium product which maximises margins. This proven technology now serves the needs of agricultural markets, local authorities, fencing specifiers, and homeowners seeking long-life and sustainable fencing solutions.

Custom-Built Machine with Proven Technology

The PostMizer machine, developed in collaboration with Wood-Mizer, is a high-spec, high-quality application system designed to fit up to 360 rot protection sleeves per hour. This efficiency makes it ideal for large-scale production. Sawmills and timber merchants can use the PostMizer to apply both Pro-Sleeve and Pro-Sleeve +PLUS rot protectors at scale to UC4-treated posts to create a finished product which offers unrivalled protection against decay, and a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to creosote or CCA treatments.

Partnering with the Best in Woodworking Machinery

Wood-Mizer, globally renowned for its leadership in sawmilling and wood processing machinery, has been at the forefront of woodworking innovation for over 40 years. With a strong reputation for developing high-quality, precision-engineered equipment, Wood-Mizer has become a trusted partner to timber and sawmill professionals around the world. Their advanced technology and expertise have played a crucial role in the custom development of the PostMizer machine. Potential customers will gain access to Wood-Mizer's renowned customer support, ensuring a seamless integration of the PostMizer machine into their operations. Additionally, payment plans are available, making it easier for sawmills and timber merchants to invest in this cutting-edge technology without straining their budgets. 

By teaming up with Wood-Mizer, Postsaver ensures that the PostMizer is not only highly efficient but also meets the highest standards of reliability and durability. Richard George, CEO of Postsaver, said: “We have partnered with one of the best machinery manufacturers in the world to develop the PostMizer. This collaboration guarantees that the machine is high spec and high quality, giving post producers confidence in the system. Working with Wood-Mizer also reinforces our commitment to providing industry-leading solutions.”

Growing Market Share of Timber Products

For sawmills and timber merchants, the PostMizer offers a cost-effective solution to produce guaranteed long-life timber posts, reducing the need for expensive alternative treatments. Timber and lumber yards can now efficiently scale up production, saving both time and money while delivering a premium product to their customers.

Retailers are already benefiting from the introduction of Postsaver protected posts into the market. As demand for long-life fencing solutions grows, the PostMizer enables businesses to capitalise on this opportunity while addressing customer expectations for sustainability and durability.

Richard George highlighted the importance of this innovation in reinvigorating the timber industry:

“Wood products have been losing market share to alternative materials in recent years. By offering a premium product with a market-leading 40-year guarantee, we can help post producers reclaim their position in the market. Retailers are already stocking pre-protected posts, and sales are growing steadily month on month.”

Efficient, Scalable, and Market-Ready

The PostMizer machine is engineered to help sawmills and timber merchants adapt to modern demands while enhancing production efficiency. With the ability to deliver high volumes and meet customer expectations for long-lasting fencing solutions, the PostMizer positions businesses for growth in an evolving marketplace. By combining Postsaver’s innovative Pro-Wrap technology with Wood-Mizer’s world-class machinery expertise, the PostMizer is set to become a game-changer in the industry.
