Through close collaboration with production teams, we’ve identified the real-world challenges lumber manufacturers face. These insights have shaped our approach—from large-scale projects to the smallest design details—guiding the evolution of our equipment to meet the industry’s most critical needs.
Over time, these needs crystallized into a focused set of priorities. These priorities now define the Paragon Design Standard—USNR’s official design framework. It’s a set of principles that drive the development of every piece of equipment we build, setting a new bar for performance, reliability, and innovation.
Achieving this level of excellence means going beyond production metrics. Every component must reflect superior quality. That’s what makes something not just great—but Paragon.
We’ve shaped the Paragon identity around five foundational values.
- Safety
- Maintainability
- Precise Feed Control
- Modularity
- Debris Containment
These values reflect the real-world priorities of modern lumber operations and serve as the guiding criteria for every system we engineer. They ensure that each solution we deliver is not only technically advanced but also aligned with the operational, safety, and performance goals of our customers.
