KMA Fiber

KMA Fiber will establish a pilot plant for the reduction of round pulp wood to clean biomass for fuel wood pellet manufacturers. The plant will come on line in the first quarter of 2009 with limited operations in the fourth 2008 quarter involving product brokerage. The plant components will be broken down into the following areas of operation:

Timber Merchandising Yard: This operation will buy whole loads of mixed timber from loggers that will be sorted and graded for the best use. Graded product will be resold to end users and specific pulp products with be put through the companies pulp operation.
Hard and softwood pulp operations: This operation will put round pulp wood though the following process.
Debarking: The pulp will be debarked and forwarded to the chipping mill.
Chipping: The product will be chipped and forwarded to the grinding mill.
Grinding: The product is ground to a fine product and loaded into trailers for transport.
Portable Biomass operation: This operation is the harvesting and whole tree chipping into biomass for cogeneration plants. Unlike the pulp operation, the resulting chips from this operation are not considered clean material for fuel wood pellets.

KMA Fiber will also initiate a fuel wood (cordwood) operation in late 2008 that will process and inventory fuel wood for the 2009 thru 2010 heating season. It will package its fuel wood product in a unique format for ease of delivery and storage.

The company is developing a fixed as well as portable set of processing strategies to produce up to 3,000 cords. The company will process round wood into green and dry firewood for consumption in the local markets. The raw material for this operation will be drawn from the same sources as the bio-fuel products.

KMA Fiber will operate from a 15-acre complex in southern Maine as well as remote sites using its portable processing equipment. The site will consist of eight buildings for processing, product storage and packaging. The company will employ ten full time and six seasonal workers, equipment operators and truck drivers.
