SWEED Talks

JPR – Feature: How a sawmill became a recycling business, in The Ground Floor

The name is SWEED, but the origin is German. Three brothers from Germany started a sawmill in the Rogue Valley in the 1950s, then started building their own machinery.

Now SWEED Machinery makes equipment for mills, but also makes machines that chop recyclable materials up for easier sorting and handling.

JPR focuses on Gold Hill-based SWEED Machinery in this month’s edition of The Ground Floor, their business segment, produced by management consultant Cynthia Scherr.

Tyler Casebeer, the CEO of SWEED, walks listeners through the company’s history and present focus.
