Here is what some of our finger jointing system users have to say:
Michel Fillion, Co-Owner of Chantiers Chibougamau says:
...Conception R.P. developed what we believe is the fastest finger-joint machine
available on the market. We wanted fast equipment so we purchased a [CRP 3000]
machine that could go as fast as 450 linear feet per minute [back in 1998, it currently runs
at 600 linear feet per minute]. I don't think that type of machine existed on the market."

Tyrone Yee, Production Manager at Vanderhoof Specialty Wood Products says:
...once we saw it working, we knew it would fit our situation. It is very advanced
equipment that can produce a quality product in a more efficient way (...)
the new [CRP 2000SE] line offers us greater speed with more efficiency, with the
installation of the new line, we have eliminated many of our bottlenecks and we are
seeing a very good return on our investment.

Bob Smith, Operations Manager at Woodgrain Millwork says:
The installation and start-up crew were on site for two weeks and the [CRP 2000]
line went into production right after that. It has taken on our busiest production line
needs, and we have had no problems at all. It is much more productive than the old line.

Mike Grimes, Assistant General Manager at North Douglas Wood Products says:
The [CRP 2000] machine was impressive, how they had engineered things
differently... It was up and running in a few days, and we were getting production
speed in about a week,
The flexibility and speed of the machine have been two of its biggest advantages,
It can really fly.
