Kingston, New Hampshire— Abenaki Timber Corp., headquartered here, recently upgraded its facility in Belington, West Virginia by replacing their old gas-fired Hurst boiler with a new gas-fired Hurst boiler and by adding two T-sheds of 140’ each in the air-dry yard. 

“The old Hurst boiler was installed back in the late ‘80s and had served the company well, but it was time to add a little power and improve efficiency,” said Eric Porter, Abenaki’s president. “The T-sheds will improve the quality and appearance of the lumber.” 

At their Epping, New Hampshire facility Abenaki will be upgrading all of the boiler controls in their wood waste fired system and the company has decided to use Messersmith Manufacturing as the provider and partner in this improvement. 

“These improvements will help Abenaki continue to provide quality, consistency, and service to all of our valued customers,” Porter said.
