Limington Lumber Company was founded in 1961 in Limington, ME.  The company purchased a mill site in East Baldwin in 1969.  Limington Lumber Co. is located in the Saco River Valley in an area stretching from Fryeburg to Biddeford that has been known for its’ quality White Pine for over 300 years.

Limington Lumber Co., a long standing member of Northeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association (NeLMA), produces over 14 million board feet of Eastern White Pine boards annually.  We operate a band sawmill and planing mill, offering many different patterns.  Our employee’s expertise, combined with 9 state of the art dry kilns help ensure that we have the quality products that will meet your customer’s needs.

In 1999, Limington Lumber Co. embarked on a series of large expansions in order to offer its customers the best possible products and to strengthen Limington Lumber’s position as we entered the new millennium.  The first phase was the installation of a PHL 36 bin sorter and grade line in the sawmill.  This project gave us more flexibility in our sorts and brought all of our employees inside.  The second step was the installation of a PHL optimizer edger with Autolog controls.  This piece of equipment not only improved yield, but also eliminated the most physically demanding position in the mill.

The upgrade of the Planer Mill came next with a whole new line surrounding a WACO Maxi moulder.  This new moulder allows us to produce the highest quality finish.  The new line surrounding the WACO was set-up to improve flow and give us more flexibility to easily absorb the increased production.  We next installed a Verville 4 station bagging system with auto stapling to process the increase in shavings.

Limington Lumber’s latest upgrade was completed in April, 2006 with the installation of a Hurst 250hp Boiler system.  This allowed us to begin using sawdust to generate heat for the dry kilns as well as the plant.  It also allowed us to retire the 2 oil-fired boilers, which gives us better control of our heating costs going forward.

Limington Lumber, a member of North American Wholesale Lumber Association (NAWLA), markets its’ products throughout the United States and Canada through established wholesalers.  The company seeks the repeat customer – primarily the small to mid-sized retailer to whom quality and service are as important as price.  It believes that even with the increased focus on the mega retailer and home center, there remains a place for the medium sized producer who will concentrate on consistency of grade, milling quality and timely service.

The company supports its’ industry through its membership in organizations such as the Maine Forest Product Council and the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests.
