KDS Windsor and Windsor Engineering Achieve Major Milestone: 100th CDK Contracted Worldwide

Hendersonville, NC, April 7, 2025 — KDS Windsor and its sister company, Windsor Engineering, proudly announce a major milestone in the company’s legacy of innovation and service to the global forest products industry: the award of its 100th Continuous Dry Kiln (CDK) contract. This achievement underscores KDS Windsor and Windsor Engineering’s position as a world leader in drying technology, offering reliable, energy-efficient, and species-flexible kilns.

Of the 100 CDKs, 53 are in the Southeastern United States, a region known for its production of Southern Yellow Pine. One project has been contracted in the Pacific Northwest, and the remaining 46 are distributed across Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and other global markets. Over the years, KDS Windsor and Windsor Engineering kilns have been custom-engineered to dry a wide variety of timber species, including:

  • Southern Yellow Pine (SYP)
  • Radiata Pine
  • Spruce-Pine-Fir (SPF)
  • Douglas Fir
  • Caribbean Pine
  • Rubberwood

Our flexible kiln systems are compatible with a range of heating mediums tailored to the needs and resources of each client. Systems have been delivered with:

  • Green Sawdust Gasifiers
  • Dry Shavings Burners
  • High-Pressure Hot Water
  • Thermal Oil
  • Steam (including geothermal)
  • Direct Gas Firing

From large corporate sawmills to independent operations, KDS Windsor and Windsor Engineering’s CDKs are trusted for their performance, durability, and automation. Our proprietary DrySpec® kiln control system and DryTrack® moisture measurement system have become the industry benchmark for precision drying.

Looking forward, KDS Windsor and Windsor Engineering are expanding their footprint and forging new partnerships in two key strategic regions: Europe and the Pacific Northwest. With growing interest in energy efficiency and timber quality, KDS Windsor and Windsor Engineering are poised to bring our proven technology and expertise to these critical markets.

“This milestone reflects not just quantity, but consistency, quality, and trust from our customers,” said Patrick Godfrey, Vice President of Sales and Service at KDS Windsor. “We’re deeply proud of our global team, our engineering excellence, and the strong relationships we’ve built.”
