Gilbert’s Engineering team is presently working on making their planer more and more intelligent. Over the past years, they have been continually upgrading the planer ensuring premium performance for its customers.

--------------- WHAT'S NEW

Recent Start-Ups

With the present market being as strong as it is, Gilbert continues to have the wind in its sails. Over the past year, Gilbert has installed a new Planer every 3 to 4 weeks. With its 5 models of planers, Gilbert has the right machine for every mill.

Here are some pictures of the most recent installation in May 2022 at Morgan Lumber in Red Oak, Virginia, USA. Morgan Lumber opted for the big Gilbert High Speed 4000 FPM Planer and High Speed Splitting Module.  We thank John Morgan, Kerry Nelson and their team for their trust, and look forward to a Nascar performing start-up!
