Central City, KY — Brewco, a leading manufacturer of industrial sawmill equipment, is proud to officially announce the acquisition of Brewer Machine & Parts, LLC, uniting two of the most respected names in the North American wood products industry.


Brewco Acquires Brewer Machine & Parts

This acquisition transforms a long-discussed vision into reality — creating the most complete, American-made sawmill equipment manufacturer in the market.


“This is a move that just makes sense,” said Kevin Curran, President & CEO of Brewco.


“Brewer is a legacy brand with decades of credibility, and we’re honored to carry it forward with precision, speed, and pride. For many in the industry, this is something that’s been talked about for years — and now it’s finally happening.” - Kevin Curran, Brewco

What this Means for Customers

Effective immediately:

  • - All Brewer equipment will be manufactured exclusively at Brewco's headquarters in Central City, KY.

  • - Brewco is now the sole source for Brewer parts fulfillment, service support, and equipment manufacturing.

  • - Brewer's expertise has joined Brewco’s leadership team, ensuring continuity of knowledge, quality, and customer care.


This is more than a handoff — it’s a fusion of people, products, and purpose. Brewer Machine & Parts, LLC will continue to collaborate with Brewco during the transition to ensure seamless service and operational continuity for customers nationwide.


“This is a tremendous opportunity for all customers,” said Paul Kirtley, former President of Brewer and now a senior leader at Brewco.


“Combining Brewco and Brewer staff, product lines, and institutional knowledge offers a better customer experience than either company could provide alone. The focus on service, innovation, and durability will continue — but now with even more power to drive it forward.” - Paul Kirtley, Brewer Machine & Parts

A Unified Future — Decades in the Making

For years, sawmill operators, suppliers, and industry veterans have said the same thing: Brewco and Brewer belong together. That moment has arrived.


“We’re not just expanding — we’re aligning,” said Curran. “Brewco redefined service and speed. Brewer built machines that last for decades. Now, we’re combining those strengths into one team, one brand, and one mission: to set the new standard for sawmill equipment.”


“The future is exciting,” added Kirtley. “These two companies should have been working together years ago — I’m glad it’s finally happening.”
