| W.T.S. Montgomery founded the Jacksonville Blowpipe Company in
1925 and quickly developed a reputation for building heavy duty, high quality
Material Handling Fans and installing first class pneumatic waste removal
systems throughout the southeastern United States. |

In the late 1940's, he recognized the need for a better way to
reduce wood scrap into a more consistent end product. He developed the
patented punch-and-die concept for a two stage grind in a single machine.

|
|
|
| As the business grew, it was formally incorporated in 1948 in
Jacksonville, Florida, U.S.A. New
models and configurations were steadily developed to address a wide variety of waste
reduction applications. The business was renamed Montgomery Industries
International, Inc. in 1972. |
| |
| The Montgomery Hog has established a
solid track record of being a rugged, high quality, long lasting piece of equipment that
produces a consistent end product with a minimum of fines. We have built
over 2,900 machines for customers in 35 countries. |
