Both the US’ One Big Beautiful Bill Section 179 and Canada’s Accelerated Investment Incentive are designed to stimulate economic growth by encouraging businesses to invest in new equipment and technology by providing upfront tax relief. How’s that for Inspiration to Feed the Beast?!

Here’s my disclaimer: “The information shared is for informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional tax or financial advice. Tax laws are complex and can change, and your business circumstances are unique. Always consult with a professional accountant or a tax consultant to discuss your specific tax and financial situation.” OK, back to the business at hand.

his year at the BCMC in Omaha, Enventek will have an even bigger booth than at last year’s BCMC show. We are bringing everything again, with emphasis on Version 2.0 of the Plate Dispenser. This will be an operational production model with our recommended minimum 32 plate SKUs in full on demo mode. Meaning of course, if you ask for a demo, you’ll get to help re-fill the plate hoppers at the end of the demo!

Our booth setup will be similar to last year as shown in these pictures [for photos, See PDF or View in Full Issue]. We’ll have a Lumber PickLine in front of the Amazing AutoFeeding RetroC accessorized with SpeedCatch AutoFill Carts, all integrated with PlantOne TVs.

A great way to get inspiration to Feed the Beast in 2025 or 2026 is to attend one or all of the August Feed the Beast! Plant Tours. Click this link to register: https://limteksolutions.com/tours/  

We’ll be offering four (4) truss plant tours that will be a nice warm-up for BCMC in Omaha and to help in making decisions and calculating ROIs. These four photos preview these four tours [for photos, See PDF or View in Full Issue]:
