These primary products will be marketed to a variety of users including treating plants, truss manufacturers, the manufactured housing industry, and others within trucking distances of the Nottoway plant. By-products will either be consumed internally or marketed to local paper, poultry, or landscaping industries. Revolutionary manufacturing technology, experienced professionals, and a strategic location will all combine to make ArborTech Forest Products one of Virginia's most productive and efficient sawmill operations. Compared with traditional saw milling operations, the facility's state of the art, computer optimized processing systems will mean more efficient utilization of Virginia's renewable forest resources. Over 90 percent of Virginia's forestland is owned and managed by non-industrial, private landowners and institutional investors.
ArborTech technology represents the future for efficiently marketing forest products.
The facility will be located on a 125-acre site adjacent to the Fort Pickett Airfield, which will be returned to Nottoway County as a result of the federal government's military base restructuring. The Virginia Economic Development Partnership and the Nottoway County Economic Development Committee assisted the company with its decision. ArborTech qualifies for workforce training services from the Virginia Department of Business Assistance.
