At Maxco Chain, we’re committed to providing high-performance, American-made solutions for the industries we serve. That’s why we’re excited to announce our recent acquisition of Timber Forest Products LLC (TFP), a Wisconsin-based manufacturer of laminated wood flights used in primary tanks of wastewater treatment plants.
This strategic acquisition brings even more value to our customers in the wastewater industry. TFP’s wood flights are designed to integrate directly with our SAV715 and cast iron 720 collector chains—making them an ideal addition to our growing product lineup.
Why TFP Flights?
TFP’s laminated flights are made in the USA using second-generation Douglas Fir, a renewable material known for its strength, durability, and sustainability. Compared to materials like steel, aluminum, or plastics, wood requires far less energy to produce—resulting in a significantly lower carbon footprint.
Even better, Douglas Fir absorbs carbon, produces oxygen, and is naturally biodegradable and recyclable. These characteristics make TFP flights not only a reliable, long-lasting option—but also a “green” solution that aligns with today’s sustainability goals in infrastructure and municipal planning.
A Natural Fit for Maxco
“This acquisition enhances our product offerings for the wastewater treatment sector while supporting our commitment to U.S.-made, environmentally responsible solutions,” said David Egbert, President of Maxco Chain. “TFP has a long-standing reputation for craftsmanship and sustainability, and we’re excited to bring that expertise into the Maxco family.”
By adding TFP’s specialty wood flights to our portfolio, we’re furthering our mission to be a one-stop solution for engineered components in wastewater treatment—delivering not just high quality, but also environmental responsibility and supply chain reliability.

For municipalities, engineering firms, and contractors working on wastewater treatment systems, the benefits are clear:
- One trusted supplier for chain and flight components
- Proven compatibility between chain and laminated wood flights

We look forward to continuing to grow and serve our customers with an expanded portfolio of dependable, high-performance products.
