Salvage company relocates, changes ownership

Cannon Salvage has made several changes in the past six months.

Kyle Clifton originally started the operation, which tears down old buildings and reclaims any salvageable lumber, in Peru two years ago but relocated last June to a larger facility at 6118N 800E, in Twelve Mile.

“We were leasing over there (in Peru) and needed more room,” he said. “We preferred to have our own facility.”

After opening last August, the business changed ownership in October. Clifton, who is now the general manager, sold the business to Joe Cannon. Cannon said he believes the arrangement will allow for a more secure supply of wood.

“We have been working with Kyle for two or three years,” said Cannon. “He was supplying a lot of wood to us.”

Depending on the structure, and amount and quality of wood, Cannon said he will travel quite a distance. He said he has gone as far as Chicago and into Ohio, though he prefer work in Cass and other surrounding counties.

The company has a saw mill in Twelve Mile where old beams are manufactured into new products, most of which are distributed all over the United States, according to Cannon.

“We are happy to be a part of the community,” Cannon said. “We encourage people to save their old barns if they can. We are happy to help take down old barns rather than burn them down.”

Business hours are from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Clifton can be reached at (765) 480-0199, or through the Web site at www.trestlewood.com
