Fulghum Industries, Inc.

Fulghum Industries has provided quality equipment to the forest products industry since 1956. Our organization has endeavored to meet the needs of the forest products market by constantly paying attention to detail, quality and innovations in technology. Our first product, the rosserhead debarker was the result of the lumber industry's need for effective debarking to convert slabs and edgings into usable wood fiber. This simple machine has forever changed the operation of sawmills and pulp mills alike by providing economical furnish from what was once waste. Soon after the first rosserhead, Fulghum realized the industry's need for a high quality chipper. Today, Fulghum chippers are recognized worldwide as among the very best in the industry. In the early years that followed, continued product development resulted in the introduction of a succession of saws, screens, conveyors, and loaders—among others. In the mid 1970's, Fulghum recognized a need to revamp its product line. This heralded the development and manufacture of the Fulghum drum debarker and log handling crane. From this beginning our organization has grown to provide a diverse product line including equipment ranging in size and purpose from forty-eight inch chippers to one hundred and seventy foot radius log handling cranes. Through the years, our face has changed, but our commitment to quality and customers service remains our steady core focus.
