Huber Engineered Woods Strikes Production Deal With Arbec Forest Products

Huber Engineered Woods, Charlotte, N.C., will increase production capacity through a contractual manufacturing agreement with Arbec Forest Products. The deal allows Huber to produce its ZIP System sheathing at Arbec’s Quebec, Canada, facility.

“We have seen a strong start to 2016 in our industry and are optimistic for continued growth in the coming years,” said Huber Engineered Woods president Brian Carlson. “We are making arrangements to augment capacity as part of our ongoing commitment to keep pace with the growing needs of our customers for AdvanTech and ZIP System products.”

All specialty products manufactured under the agreement between HEW and Arbec will be stamped and sold under the Huber brand.

Arbec’s mills have an annual production capacity of softwood lumber of 700 million bd. ft. and OSB panels of 620,000 cubic sq. ft.
