Lico Machinery
Designer and builder of ripping, edging, crosscutting, sorting, and stacking systems for sawmills and flooring plants since 1993. Our primary line, and we speak for Lico in the U.S.
About us
The U.S. rep for Lico, EBI, Cresswood and OSI
US Machinery Sales, LLC is a nationwide machinery representative for manufacturers in the sawmill and hardwood flooring industries. We are the U.S. sales arm for Lico Machinery of Saint-Georges, Quebec, and we represent EBI Electric scanning systems, Cresswood shredding machinery, and OSI Machinerie planers alongside the Lico line.
We do not carry inventory or mark up someone else's iron. We represent the factories directly, so the engineering answers, the pricing and the after-sale support come from the people who build the machines, coordinated by one U.S. contact: Mike Rose.
The brands we carry are deliberately complementary. A hardwood flooring plant can scope its ripping, grading, crosscutting, sorting, stacking, planing and waste grinding in one conversation, and the handoffs between them get engineered before anyone orders steel.
Who you deal with
Mike Rose
Mike is the second generation of his family in this industry. His father spent two decades in machinery before him, and Mike has been selling it himself since 2017. He started out in Tennessee and has been based in Colorado since 2012.
US Machinery Sales is his own business, and he is the one contact on every quote, with Lico, EBI, Cresswood and OSI behind him for the engineering and the pricing.
That suits the companies he carries. EBI is a third-generation family business, Cresswood has been family-owned since its roots in 1963, and Lico is independently owned in Saint-Georges. A lot of the bigger names in this industry have been bought and merged in the last few years. These have not, and neither has he.
The brands
Who we represent
EBI Electric

Cresswood
Family-owned Illinois manufacturer of single-shaft, low-RPM wood-waste shredders and grinders. Made in the USA since the company's roots in 1963.
OSI Machinerie

Coverage
Nationwide, in person
We quote and support installations across the United States, from the Southeast to the Pacific Northwest. Machinery is a walk-the-floor business, so scoping starts with a mill visit.
If your operation runs hardwood flooring, dimension, or sawmill breakdown and you are weighing new equipment, start the conversation early. The best line layouts get decided before anyone is committed to steel.
