Louisiana-Pacific Adds Production Line At Alabama OSB Mill

by | Jan 15, 2016 | News

Louisiana-Pacific Corp. recently broke ground on a project that will add a FlameBlock Fire-Rated OSB Sheathing line at its Clarke County oriented strand board (OSB) mill. A new facility will be constructed to house the production line for the company’s fire-rated sheathing product.

Louisiana-Pacific CEO Curt Stevens said the new line in Clarke County will meet the growing demand in the single-family, multi-family and light commercial construction markets.

The company selected the Clarke County mill for the new line because of its strong workforce and proven performance in manufacturing commodity OSB from a safety, quality and environmental perspective, Louisiana-Pacific said in a release.

Plans call for the multi-million dollar project to be completed in the third quarter of 2016, with production scheduled to start in the fourth quarter of 2016.

The Clarke County mill opened in 2007, and is one of the company’s 10 OSB manufacturing facilities in North America – employing 161 workers.
