KINSALE, Virginia— This is the third time that I have had the privilege of writing an article about the Garden family and its company, Potomac Supply Corporation. It is somewhat ironic that in our 25th anniversary year, I have come back full circle to the first pallet/sawmill company that I ever visited, way back in 1967. A lot has changed since then because Potomac keeps on pushing the envelope of what is possible. Its latest improvements include a new sawmill and a barcode information management system that are both based on precision to drive quality in the plant. The company is hoping that recent improvements with a unique transverse sawing system will ensure its competitiveness in the sawmill industry. Potomac's new mill design has more than doubled production.
