A totally integrated company that is totally committed to the environment.
Durgin and Crowell is a totally integrated forest resource company. Its manufacturing operations include a two-sided sawmill complex, two planer facilities, two cutup shop areas, and 18 dry kilns. The Company employs more than 100 people and produces over 30 million board feet of lumber annually.
Durgin and Crowell has a joint venture agreement with a 16-megawatt co-generation power plant located adjacent to its property, which allows for most of the wood by-products created by the mill and logging operations to be used as a natural fuel material. Other by-products such as green sawdust are burned to create steam used to heat the dry kilns. In addition, wood shavings are sold to stables and farms, and quality chips are sold to paper manufacturers.
This commitment to the environment and to being a local source for employment has led Durgin and Crowell to be recognized as a good corporate citizen by area residents and by local governments.
