Roseburg Exits Hardwood Plywood
Roseburg Forest Products announced it has ceased operations at its Dillard hardwood plywood facility and is exiting the hardwood plywood market. The company states that the strategic move reflects its long-term plan to concentrate resources on a more focused product portfolio with sustained customer demand and long-term growth potential.
The Dillard hardwood plywood plant, part of the company’s Dillard complex which also includes MDF and lumber production, was one of the company’s longest-operating facilities. The plant’s 107 team members have been encouraged to apply for open positions at other facilities and will receive dedicated support and resources during the transition. All other operations at the Dillard complex will continue.
