SHAMCO - IRON RIVER, MICHIGAN

Congratulations to 2024 Timber Harvesting Logger of the Year, Shamco, from Iron River, Michigan. Shamco is a family business in the Upper Peninsula with solid integrity, professionalism, and community involvement. Family patriarch Jerry Shamion worked in the woods his entire life, first in company with his brother, Ron, and later under the Shamco umbrella with his four sons, Todd, Scott, Eric, and Ryan. Jerry would say, “If you love what you do, you will never work a day in your life.” This sentiment continues to run through the family today.
