About WMS

Your Source for Woodworking Machinery and Solutions

 

Get What Every Customer Deserves

After working in the woodworking machinery industry for many years, Jim Besonen decided he wanted to be a part of an organization that offered customers the highest level of service possible. 

So in 1995, Jim founded Wood Machinery Systems (WMS), a company dedicated to providing high-quality woodworking machinery, services, and support to the wood products industry.  

At Wood Machinery Systems, our purpose is to form partnerships with customers and suppliers based on integrity and respect. We utilize our knowledge of equipment and technology to help improve our customer's manufacturing process and profitability.

The Expertise You Need

Over the past few years, the woodworking industry has changed. Gone are the days when a woodworker could simply purchase a machine, turn it on, and make money with it. Today’s equipment is more complex with many computerized functions that have great benefit to the user when successfully integrated into their process. WMS has the technical knowledge to assist in this machinery selection process.  

These days, most companies simply know they have a problem to solve. They need an expert to help them find the solution, and for that, they count on Wood Machinery Systems.

The Personalized Service You Want

WMS has evolved with the industry, taking a more consultative approach than most other companies. At WMS, our team members don’t just take orders.  Instead they:

• Personally visit their customers’ facilities
• Take time to understand each customer’s manufacturing process
• Assess their customers’ needs and challenges
• Offer the best, most practical, and cost-effective  solutions available

The Solutions You Can Count On

The wood industry has become high tech, computerized, and automated. WMS is continually looking for new technology from all around the world that will benefit our customers and help them integrate lean manufacturing principals.

So if you are looking to go lean or reduce your delivery time we’ve got the automation solutions that can make it happen.

Or, say you need a spare part or custom tooling for your machine.  We’ll help you find it and get you up and running in no time.

Want technical support? You can count on WMS for that too.

We’re here for you so that critical jobs don’t become crisis situations.

The Dedication You’ve Come to Expect

At WMS our customers become our friends.

You’ll see it in the relationships we’ve built with our customers, and our commitment to the long-lasting partnerships we’ve formed throughout the years.  Our long term employees are a friendly voice you can always count on when you have equipment needs.

And you’ll recognize it in our dedication to providing solutions, our 50 years of collective experience in the industry, and the focus we place on your success if we’re privileged enough to service your business.
