Maynards has been engaged as the exclusive sale agent by Montrose Forest Products, presenting a rare opportunity for a strategic buyer to acquire a modern, highly capitalized sawmill and planer mill operation in Montrose, Colorado — available en bloc or by major system, together with the underlying real estate.
Backed by more than $60 million in capital investment since 2014, the facility combines a complete production chain with recent, technologically advanced upgrades: a 2026-upgraded L&B slant headrig and carriage with Mill Expert/Smart TriCam optimization, an Albany/CM&E canter line with USNR BioLuma 3900L scanning, a ground-up 2019 USNR planer mill (Newman 4-sided planer 2,400 FPM, transverse high-grader with deep-learning grading, automated strapping and wrap), (2) Wellons double-track dry kilns, and a newly commissioned (2024) wood-fired cogeneration power plant — a 50,000 lb/hr Wellons boiler paired with a 13,328 kW Siemens steam turbine capable of supplying roughly 80% of the mill's own electricity.
Situated on a substantial industrial site in Colorado's Uncompahgre Valley, Montrose Forest Products has operated as one of the region's largest employers and one of the few Colorado mills equipped to process beetle-killed pine, historically producing enough dimension lumber and studs to frame roughly 2,000 homes a year. The offering spans the complete operation — cut-off saws and debarkers, headrig and carriage, canter line, resaw, gang and scanning edgers, sorting, stacking and trimming systems, the planer mill, dry kilns, the cogeneration plant, a full filing room, and an extensive mobile equipment fleet of log stackers, loaders and forklifts — together with the mill's real estate.
For a strategic seeking to enter or expand its footprint in Western softwood lumber, secure incremental capacity, or acquire a recently modernized, highly automated production platform without the multi-year timeline of a greenfield build, this is an exceptional opportunity. Equipment is also available by major system for buyers looking to recapitalize existing operations.
