Today, Burton Mill Solutions announced its acquisition of Carolina Cutting Tools of Newberry, SC, a provider of industrial cutting tool reconditioning services to sawmills and chip operations across the Southeastern U.S. This transaction enhances Burton’s geographic reach and technical capabilities to better serve primary wood producers who choose to outsource the reconditioning of their circle saw blades and machine knives. With the addition of Carolina Cutting Tools, Burton further extends its unprecedented range of technical expertise and capabilities in wood processing technology, covering new wide-band and circle saws, industrial knives, filing room equipment, reconditioning services, and industrial wear parts.

Burton President Marty Haycraft commented, “This acquisition brings together the two leading cutting tool reconditioning services businesses in the Southeast and allows us to significantly strengthen and expand our capabilities. The cultures of our two organizations are closely aligned. We both share a long- standing passion for providing value-added services to our customers, including pickup, reconditioning or replacement, delivery, and technical support.”
Terry Green, President, and Terri Green, Vice President, co-owners of Carolina Cutting Tools, added, “We are combining two great companies that share a common goal: providing efficient and innovative service solutions that reduce costs and make the lives of our customers easier.”
Carolina Cutting Tools’ Newberry location will complement Burton’s existing network of saw and knife reconditioning service centers in Maine, South Carolina, Louisiana, and Alabama.
