BID Group Partners with Tough by Nature to Distribute New Longer-Lasting and More Efficient Kilns Sticks to the Industry

BID Group is pleased to announce a strategic partnership with Tough By Nature (TBN) to distribute the revolutionary WonderCoat kiln sticks across North America. This collaboration sets a new standard in the lumber industry, providing mill operators with longer-lasting, more durable kiln sticks that enhance efficiency at the stacker and significantly reduce operational costs.

Over the past six years, TBN has developed a patented coating and process for southern yellow pine, enhancing its natural properties to exceed industry standards in strength, durability, elongation, compression, and warp resistance. This free of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) product, applied to kiln sticks to increase their resistance, represents a groundbreaking innovation set to transform the sector.

This partnership enhances BID Group’s ability to support its customers with solutions that drive efficiency and reliability. “We are excited about this partnership,” said Simon Potvin, President of Wood Processing at BID Group. “The integration of Tough By Nature Sticks into our product offerings aligns perfectly with our mission to provide innovative and efficient solutions to our clients.”

Jeff Yurk, Managing Partner at Tough By Nature, expressed his enthusiasm for the partnership, stating, “This partnership exemplifies the innovative spirit and commitment to excellence that both companies embody. We are proud to be working with BID Group as they have demonstrated innovation and success throughout the years.”

TBN’s relationship with BID Group is built on mutual respect and a shared vision for the future. The company’s extensive experience in the wood processing industry, combined with TBN’s pioneering product, ensures that customers receive the highest quality and most reliable products on the market.
