StoosNews Spotlight: Check Out The Business Beat This Week Featuring Tree House Timber Works, Optimize Wellness Solutions & More!

PTBOCanada is delighted to to be running StooNews columns each week here, spotlighting new businesses and startups in Peterborough and the Kawarthas. Here is this week’s edition…

Tree House Timber Works owner Mike Adams recently announced a business expansion to a 4000 sq ft shop at 111 Robinson St in East City. Tree House uses traditional timber frame techniques—no screws, nails or other fasteners, just mortise and tenon construction. They've built everything from timber frame porches, cabins, trusses, and braces, to smaller buildings. The shift to a larger space will give Mike and his crew the capacity to cut, test-fit and store complete structures, even for large structures such as timber accents, buildings and barns.

Dick Crawford is a well known local building consultant, but he is also the developer of the PKA SoftTouch Micro-Needle. The device delivers medication in a painless, safe and cost-effective way, and Dick envisions the SoftTouch system replacing the traditional needle/syringe system for many typical medications in both humans and animal healthcare. They are at the clinical trials stage and you have an opportunity to buy into the company through equity crowdfunding. Details are online at pkasofttouch.com.
