Employer Details

Fulghum Industries, Inc.

Fulghum Industries, established over 60 years ago, is a leading manufacturer specializing in wood processing equipment, including log handling cranes, debarkers, chippers, and related machinery. The company is headquartered in Wadley, Georgia, USA, and serves a global clientele in the forest products industry. Our organization has endeavored to meet the needs of the forest products market by constantly paying attention to detail, quality and innovations in technology. Our first product, the rosserhead debarker, was the result of a perceived need in the lumber industry for low production, effective debarking to convert slabs and edgings into usable wood fiber. This simple machine has forever changed the operation of sawmills and pulp mills alike by providing economical furnish from what was once waste. Soon after the first rosserhead, Fulghum realized the industry's need for a high quality chipper. This resulted in the first diversification of Fulghum's product line. Today, Fulghum chippers are recognized worldwide as among the very best in the industry. In the early years, continued product development resulted in the introduction of a succession of saws, screens, conveyors and loaders. In the mid-seventies, Fulghum recognized a need to revamp it's product line to fit an ever growing and changing industry. This heralded the development and manufacture of the Fulghum drum debarker and log handling cranes. From this beginning, our organization has grown to provide a diverse product line including equipment ranging in size and purpose from forty-eight-inch chippers to one hundred-eighty-foot radius log handling cranes. Through the years, our face has changed, but our commitment to quality and customers service remains our steady core focus. Today, Fulghum Industries not only provides equipment and systems, but complete consulting, engineering, fabrications, installation, and start-up, along with service and parts. In fact, Fulghum tailors each job to the customer's needs, whether it is around the corner or around the world, and provides the level of assistance best suited to each individual situation. When considering Fulghum's flexibility and capabilities, it should come as no surprise that we are now engineering our 99th complete chipping system. Today, on the woodyard, satellite locations and, sawmills, Fulghum is the name managers associate with quality, dependability and credibility more than any other.
