Newald, WI— Cleereman Industries and Cleereman Controls, both headquartered here, recently installed a new Cleereman LP-42 Linear carriage with Cleereman Controls and Cleereman Sawyer booth at Kepley-Frank Hardwood Co., Inc. in Lexington, NC. The companies also installed a new Cleereman 100 HP Hydrostatic Carriage drive and a Cleereman dual cable tensioner at the same company.

Kepley-Frank has three sawmills and cuts over 15 million board feet a year of fine Appalachian Hardwood lumber in 4/4 through 8/4 thicknesses in mostly Red and White Oak and Poplar as well as Ash and Maple. Kepley-Frank’s crosstie mill manufactures about 100,000 board feet per week of crosstie and tie sides in species such as Hickory, Sycamore, Beech, Gum and Elm. Also, through their concentration yard business, Kepley-Frank processes millions of board feet of lumber per year. Recently, Kepley-Frank’s Hardwood lumber production has increased from processing 30 million board feet a year to 50 million board feet a year. Kepley-Frank purchases and processes all domestic species in all grades. 

Cleereman Controls has now sold over 40 controls systems in its first 18 months of existence. Vice President Paul Cleereman stated, “As always we would like to thank all our loyal customers for their continued support in both Cleereman Industries and Cleereman Controls.”
