Voorwood Precision Machinery

What Voorwood Precision Machinery does

Voorwood Precision Machinery designs, manufactures, and services precision woodworking and converting machinery from its headquarters and production facility at 2350 Barney Street, Anderson, California. Founded in 1961, the company builds a portfolio of tenoners (A2515, A2517, A5615), cope and stick machines, table shaper sanders (A11), edge foilers (L217), and profile wrappers (HML 12, WL12) used by kitchen cabinet door manufacturers, furniture makers, RV/mobile home interior producers, picture frame and specialty wood product companies. Its proprietary Turbosand edge sanding technology — backed by a catalog of 4,000+ standard profiles built on CNC wire EDM tooling — is positioned to eliminate hand sanding and reduce labor dependency. A separate Converting Machinery division supplies slitter rewinders, winders, sheeters-folders, and laminators.

The company sells through a direct enterprise field sales team supported by a regional dealer network across North America, with quote-based pricing for custom-configured systems and multi-year sales cycles. Revenue is generated from hardware sales of machines, recurring consumables and tooling (carbide insert knives, Turbosand strips and caps, dry-transfer foil wheels, sharpening services), and aftermarket parts and service for all machines built since 1961. Named reference customers include WW Wood Products, Monschein, Genesis Products, CabDoor, B&B Door, and smaller custom woodworking shops. Marketing is conducted primarily via industry trade shows (notably IWF Atlanta), a maintained YouTube channel, and dealer relationships.

Voorwood operates as a privately held, independently owned corporation with 101-250 employees, no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no subsidiary structure. The company's strategic posture emphasizes incremental product evolution (e.g., the July 2025 A2515 Double-Double-End Tenoner), deepening of the Turbosand consumables ecosystem, and continued investment in technical field sales rather than aggressive geographic or vertical expansion. All intellectual property and manufacturing capability resides in Anderson, CA.
