Our Mission

Coe Manufacturing Company (CMC) is a global industry leader in the engineered wood processing sector of the forest products industry. Our goal is to utilize technology to create sustainable, high-payback products, solutions and services for our customers and the engineered wood products industries.

History - From Initiative to Innovation

The year was 1852, and the ingenuity and entrepreneurial spirit of two businessmen, Harold Hayes Coe and Leonard Anderson, developers of the first Rotary Veneer Lathe, allowed Coe Manufacturing of Painesville, Ohio to grow from a small manufacturer of sawmill machinery to a global provider of innovative, state-of-the-art solutions for the wood industries.

Product innovation and service excellence is what makes Coe Manufacturing a global industry leader today. Employing the latest technology, talents of our design teams and experience gained thru long-standing relationships with our customers, we continue to develop the high-performance, quality-rich solutions that the wood industries have come to depend on to meet their ever-changing needs.

Inventive thinking from Coe Manufacturing led to the development of the first rotary veneer lathe, the veneer dryer, and the computerized X-Y charger.

Recognizing the need to offer the newest and most reliable technology to our clients, Coe Manufacturing has expanded through several acquisitions. This expansion had allowed us to provide comprehensive, sophisticated machinery solutions that meet the diverse needs of manufacturers in the building products industries.

Today CMC is well equipped with the necessary resources to design the most effective system tailored for manufacturers of veneer, plywood, panel board, wallboard and engineered materials. A century-long relationship with the forest products industry has supported us with these endeavors.

The legacy of the pioneering spirit sparked by the founders allows CMC to offer new generations of state-of-the-art products and solutions to our clients. Our next innovation is already in the works.
