AV Birch

Initiated by timber engineering and fabrication firm A V Birch, treatment giants Koppers is also part of a consultation group that includes some of the most widely recognised sawmill operators. Vince Jones of A V Birch took up the story: "We want to make sure we are able to offer our customers incising technology that works for them, and crucially, the end user. It's as simple as that. "We are driving incising technology forward using our expertise and have been consulting with Koppers to ensure it works in conjuction with preservative technology to impact effectively on the heartwood. "We have been working on the development design and manufacture of incising machines for the last 4 years and have machinery and technology that have been producing incised posts for 3 years.
