(NYSE: KAI), received an order for two pocket batch feeders from Tolko Industries Ltd. for an OSB line upgrade at its High Prairie facility in Alberta, Canada. The equipment is expected to be online in the first quarter of 2018, when the High Prairie facility resumes operation after a market-related shutdown.

“We’re very happy to see this mill resume operation and to be awarded the order for critical equipment for the OSB line upgrade, said Michael Colwell, president of Kadant Carmanah. “Tolko and Kadant Carmanah share a long history of partnering to make the best solutions possible.”
