Proven Wood Processing and Industrial Material Handling Solutions.

Pendu Manufacturing designs and builds heavy-duty automated equipment for complex material processing and handling. From pallet mills and sawmills to steel service centers and aluminum producers, we engineer custom systems that keep your line moving and hold up, shift after shift.

What Drives Our Work

We Solve Real Problems.

Whether the challenge is labor, capacity, aging equipment, or a workflow that doesn't fit anything in a catalog — that's where our work starts.

Every project begins with the same question: what's the bottleneck, and how do we engineer a solution for it? The answer might be a single machine, a complete integrated line, or something that's never been built before.

Our Capabilities

If It Can Be Built, We'll Engineer It.

Pendu's equipment catalog came from customers asking, "Can you do this?" and the team finding a way to engineer it.

Notchers. Drills. Crane mat equipment. Control cabs. Steel handling. Each addition to the line started as a specific customer challenge. The result is a full-line capability most buyers can't get from a single vendor. Pendu handles the feed, processing, and takeaway. One relationship, one system.
