At Klassen Wood Company, our journey begins where others see waste. Since 1963, we’ve transformed wood byproducts from lumber mills into premium wood shavings. Our commitment is simple: to deliver a premium product with consistency, care, and competitive pricing. But what goes into the making of every bale of wood shavings? Here’s how Klassen’s process turns mill waste into valuable bedding solutions.
From Waste to Worth: Making Klassen Wood Products
Our product journey starts at lumber mills, where we collect wood shavings—byproducts of the milling process. We see what might be discarded elsewhere as an opportunity to create something useful. By capturing larger chunks of fresh, high-quality timber, we ensure that only the best material moves forward in our process.
Screening: Ensuring Purity and Performance
Once we gather the shavings, the next step is screening. We meticulously filter out dust and fines, ensuring that what remains are soft, absorbent, and clean shavings. This step not only maximizes the quality of the product but also ensures it is safe and comfortable for livestock.
Compression: Packing More into Every Bale
We compress the shavings to make the most efficient use of our product. This allows us to pack more flakes into every bale, ensuring that our customers receive a product that offers superior absorption, loft and coverage.
Packaging: Providing Durability and Sustainability
After compression, we palletize and wrap each bale in UV-resistant and weather-protective packaging. This ensures that the product can be stored outdoors for up to two years without any degradation in quality. Additionally, our packaging is LDPE recyclable, and we are always looking for ways to make our process more sustainable.
We ship directly to our customers, ensuring that our high-quality wood shavings arrive at your location in perfect condition ready to be used.
