WEINIG USA Announces Acquisition of MillvisionPro

Mooresville, NC - December 1, 2010 - WEINIG USA today announced the acquisition of MillvisionPro, the leader in integrative software solutions for the manufacturing of wood component parts. MillvisionPro software capabilities offer manufacturers the opportunity for flexible and paperless processing operations, exchanging costly administrative activities for productive machine time.

Together, WEINIG and Millvision have proven that certain benefits of contemporary manufacturing methods adopted in many other industries can now be achieved in the solid wood industry. Through the partnership of WEINIG's patented Powerlock quick-change technology, moving-blade rip systems, and cross-cut automation with the integration solutions provided by Millvision, manufacturers have the unique opportunity to leverage their machinery investments like never before.

Through this acquisition, WEINIG USA is also pleased to announce the return of Daniel Dew and Steven McNeilly.
