The Besse Forest Products Group acquired the sawmill located in Ladysmith, Wisconsin in 2001. The equipment includes a band resaw with a merry-go-round.

Employing 20 workers, the mill has the capacity to produce 5,800,000 feet of hardwood lumber per year.

The mill lies on Canadian National and Wisconsin Central main rail lines. The site is ideally suited for receiving logs from the company's regional, Eastern United States and Canadian Operations.
