The new manufacturing facility is expected to create 20 direct and indirect jobs
DC Equipment is reviving the production of its Madill logging equipment with a new manufacturing facility in Prince George.“Restarting production here in British Columbia allows us to support the local logging community and serve customers across North America with high-quality equipment,” said Dale Ewers, managing director of DC Equipment.
The first model rolling off the line will be the Madill 3000 log loader. The company will produce 12 machines in its first year, aiming to double output in the following year. The company, with operations in North America, South America and Oceania, notes there's demand for the log loader internationally.
“This facility positions us to serve our global markets more effectively,” Ewers said. “Local manufacturing ensures quicker delivery times and upholds the high standards of quality and innovation associated with Madill and DC Equipment.”
