Roseburg Personnel Changes At Dillard Lumber, Medford MDF, Riddle Plywood

Roseburg Forest Products has made key personnel decisions at three of its wood processing facilities in Oregon.
  • Kendrick McBride returns to Dillard Lumber in Roseburg, Ore., to serve as plant manager. McBride began his career with Roseburg as a technical manager in 2017 at Dillard. More recently, he served as Production Manager at Roseburg’s Roanoke Valley Lumber in Weldon, N.C., leading the plant’s technical start up, oversaw team growth and has set the mill on track to expand operations in 2025.

  • Casey Redwine assumes formal leadership at Medford MDF after working his way up through the mill since 2015 and, most recently, serving nine months as Operations Manager. The mill produces specialty MDF panels for the installer-friendly Armorite exterior trim product line.
  •  
  • Brent Siegel manages Riddle Plywood, having assumed this role when he joined Roseburg in September. Siegel brings nearly 30 years of plywood manufacturing and leadership experience, most recently as plant manager at Georgia-Pacific’s Emporia, Va., plywood mill.
“We’re pleased to promote Kendrick and Casey, two valued and long-time team members, and to welcome Brent, to the Roseburg family,’’ Alexandre Ouellette, Director of Manufacturing—MDF and Dillard Lumber, says. “All three are capable leaders whose experience and focus will ensure our plants continue to manufacture quality, sustainable products safely and efficiently.” Matt Holt, Senior Director of Manufacturing, said of Siegel: “We’re excited by the fresh perspective and deep technical experience Brent brings to our plywood manufacturing operation in Riddle. His focus on people and problem solving will ensure the strongest outcomes for our customers and highest quality plywood products.” At Dillard Lumber, McBride replaces Kelly White, Roseburg’s Lumber Segment Director, who is retiring after a 35-year career at the company. He led the Dillard Lumber facility for eight years and most recently served as Lumber Segment Leader with oversight over Dillard and Roanoke Valley.
