In March 2019, D7 Pneumatics marked a significant milestone with its inaugural project in the United States, collaborating with West Fraser in McDavid, Florida. This specified project aimed at upgrading the Optimil canter line, a critical component of their lumber processing facility.

West Fraser, a renowned diversified wood products company with a global footprint, trusted D7 Pneumatics with this crucial initiative. Over a span of six months, from March to September 2019, a dedicated team from D7 Pneumatics strategically executed a multifaceted plan. The project required a one-month shutdown of the McDavid facility condensing the workload into concentrated 12-hour workdays and encompassed the installation of hydraulic and lube piping, fire protection systems, pneumatic piping, and the meticulous relocation of the mill's compressors.

The comprehensive upgrade not only modernized the processing capabilities of the Optimil canter line but also enhanced the overall operational efficiency of West Fraser's facility. The successful collaboration aligns with West Fraser's commitment to responsibly sourced and sustainably managed forest resources.

The completion of the West Fraser McDavid project announced the company's integration into the US market. The precise execution of hydraulic and pneumatic installations, coupled with expertise in fire protection systems, underscored D7 Pneumatic's commitment to excellence. This project served as a testament to D7’s capability to deliver high-quality results, laying the foundation for further ventures in the US market.
