“As we execute our long-term growth strategy, I am pleased to appoint Tony to the newly created role of Chief Operating Officer,” says LP President Jason Ringblom. “With over 30 years of leadership experience in engineering and manufacturing—much of it within our own organization—Tony brings comprehensive expertise across our North and South American operations. Tony’s ability to challenge conventional approaches while fostering collaboration and team alignment will be critical as we continue to scale and optimize our business. I am confident that his leadership will enhance our performance and support sustained value creation.”

He will be responsible for the production and operational efficiency of all product lines, including LP SmartSide trim and siding, LP Structural Solutions, and LP oriented strand board.
A registered professional engineer, Hamill joined LP in 2013 and has held progressively senior leadership roles, including Vice President of Engineering and Vice President of Siding Manufacturing. He has led major initiatives to increase LP SmartSide trim and siding capacity, including four strategic mill conversions and the growth of the company’s ExpertFinish operations. These projects have significantly strengthened LP’s production capabilities and competitive positioning.
Prior to joining LP, Hamill held leadership roles at Stantec, a global engineering firm, and served as Chief Operations Officer at Roseburg Forest Products, where he directed manufacturing operations, engineering, and sales and marketing. He holds a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of New Brunswick.
