About Us
MADE IN USA
Summit was founded by a logger seeking a better solution. Since 2004, we’ve been dedicated to designing and building innovative machinery that makes logging safer, more reliable, and more efficient.
Our people are the difference
At Summit, innovation and quality are driven by our greatest asset—our people. Period. Our team of engineers, machinists, welders, fabricators, painters, assemblers, mechanics, and managers is the force behind our reputation as a leader in forestry innovation. We're committed to making logging safer and more productive, always keeping the contract logger—the backbone of the industry—at the center of what we do.
​
From a one-person operation to a team of over forty top specialists, we're always looking for the best talent. If you thrive on hard work, problem-solving, and pushing the boundaries of our industry, let’s talk.
Eric Krume
Eric has been a logger for 40 years and founded Summit in 2004 after searching for a solution that didn’t exist—the self-contained tong tosser. When he couldn’t find what he needed, he did what all contract loggers do—he found a way. Working late nights in his garage, he built the first self-contained tong tosser, which quickly gained traction among fellow loggers. As demand grew, Summit expanded into yoder manufacturing, driving the company’s rapid growth and the formation of Summit Attachments.
​
Today, Eric is fully dedicated to Summit, deeply involved in every aspect of the business—from design and engineering to manufacturing, delivery, training, and service. Like every contract logger, he shows up early, stays late, and always finds a way.
