USNR names Dale Brown as President. He will be responsible for overseeing all day-to-day operations of USNR.

A graduate of the business program at Linfield College, Brown began his professional career when he joined USNR as an accounting clerk in 1986. Since that time he has been promoted numerous times, progressively gaining greater responsibilities within the company and, along the way, developing experience and expertise across all the major functions of the business.

USNR operates four large manufacturing plants in the United States, Canada, and Sweden, in addition to more than a dozen regional engineering, service, and sales offices in North America and across Europe.

The company is best known around the world for providing end to end solutions for sawmills and planer mills, including log lines, curve sawing gangs, edger lines, trim-sort-stack systems, dry kilns, and the optimization and control technologies that maximize the output and performance of that equipment.
