One long-time Morbark customer put it this way: “If you’re serious about chipping wood or grinding wood, Morbark is the only way to go.” We couldn’t have said it better or more simply ourselves. Every industry has standards of excellence, established by leaders who set the bar of exceptional value and continually raise that bar. At Morbark, we’re proud that we’ve been setting standards for equipment value and performance since 1957.
From hand-fed brush chippers to massive whole tree chippers, if you need to chip wood, you need to know about Morbark. If you want to grind wood and create saleable products from stumps, logs, clearing debris, green waste or storm debris, find out why Morbark tub grinders and horizontal grinders lead the industry. Morbark wood chippers and grinders…serious machines for tackling difficult jobs.

From a simple blacksmith shop to a 1.5 million square foot manufacturing complex. From two workers to over 500 employees. From one product to hundreds of heavy equipment designs. These are some of the important milestones in the remarkable history of the company known as Morbark.

The year was 1957 when Norval Morey, a local sawmill operator, took the first risky step into manufacturing armed with a patent for a portable pulp wood debarker. The Morbark Debarker Company was born that year, and nobody in Winn, Michigan could have predicted what would happen over the next five decades.

Fifty years of ideas, invention and phenomenal growth find Morbark positioned as a world-class manufacturing company with world-wide markets and a reputation for designing and building durable, high performance, heavy equipment.

A complete series of heavy duty sawmill equipment, a popular line of patented hand-fed brush chippers, high production Total Chiparvestors, combination Flail Chiparvestors, horizontal wood hogs, drum-style chipper/recyclers and the best-selling line of Industrial Tub Grinders...these are the machines that define Morbark as we enter our sixth decade of business.
