Iggesund Tools history begins in the Sawmill industry. From the beginning with making hand tools to debark logs to today, Iggesund Tools has been a leader with, and for Sawmills.

Sawmills of all sizes utilize Iggesund's TurnKnife System to process whole logs and mill waste. The TurnKnife System is also used in drum style chipping heads (Chip'N'Saw*, reman, edgers and curve saw gangs) and in conical type chipping heads (canters, slabbers and edgers).

It was back in the early 1950s that Iggesund Tools manufactured the first commercial debarking machines ever produced. And while we no longer manufacture machines, we have none-the-less remained pioneers in developing innovative tools and tips for the debarking sector.

In 1982, Iggesund introduced its innovative Pyramo® debarking system which uses a family of disposable tips designed for a wide range of debarking conditions. The market responded enthusiastically and Iggesund soon became the Number 1 supplier of debarking systems in North America.

In the 90's, once again a shift in market conditions would create a demand for debarking product innovations: First, a greater proportion of the supply consisted of smaller wood; And second, tighter profit margins put renewed pressure on companies to reduce costs and increase productivity. Iggesund's solution: the Campro® debarking system for 18" and 30" Cambios, designed specifically for North American conditions and varieties.

Today over 80% of all wood debarked in eastern Canada using Cambio® debarkers are equipped with Iggesund debarking tools.
