Cooper Machine Celebrates 60 Years of Innovation and Commitment to the Sawmill Industry

Cooper Machine Company, Inc. is proud to celebrate 60 years of dedicated service to customers and continuous innovation to the sawmill industry, including the Overhead and Sharp Chain Scraggs.
In addition to Cooper Machine celebrating 60 years, we also celebrate Company President Robert Cooper’s 60-Year commitment and service to our customers and this industry. Cooper Machine was started by Billy and Mary Cooper in 1965 and was run by Robert and Bill Cooper until Bill retired in 2008. The company is currently run by Frances Cooper, who is a third generation Cooper.
Since its founding, starting with Billy Cooper and the first Overhead Scragg, the company has focused on the needs of their customers and making the equipment to fit those needs. Cooper Machine is deeply committed to continuing that tradition.
Over the last several years, the employees at Cooper Machine have continued this innovation by expanding our product offerings with an Optimized Merchandising and Sorting System for the post and pole industry. We created an updated design of the VSA for cutting pallet boards for our pallet customers using circle saws instead of bands, as well as expanding our sawmill product offerings by including EWD sawmill equipment and added Ledinek equipment to our cooperage offerings.
“I want to express my gratitude to the employees of Cooper Machine, without whom this company would not have been successful, as well as our customers and partners for their support over the years. We want to continue to earn that support and strive for the company’s continued commitment to service and adapting to market needs in the future,” states CEO Frances Cooper.
