USNR – Thank you to everyone who attended the weekend’s West Coast Dry Kiln Association meeting at Rosboro in Springfield, OR!

The event drew a sizeable crowd and included an exclusive tour of the mill’s recently converted dry kilns. USNR turned four of their existing double-track kilns into their patented UniFlow continuous kilns. Because of this, they have been able to increase production by 10-40% with more consistent steam use.

USNR have issued a big thank you to the West Coast Dry Kiln Association for hosting and to Rosboro Company LLC for the use of their facilities.

If you’re interested in learning more about USNR’s UniFlow continuous kiln, contact a USNR representative today!

Trumps Tariffs Trigger Turmoil

International Forest Industries - Thu, 15/05/2025 - 10:29

Holmen will reduce its output by 90,000 m3 at its sawmill in Braviken, Sweden reports Pulp and Paper news.  As a consquence, the company will reduce its staff by 40 positions. That’s a third of the workforce.

Of course, it’s really sad and a great shame, this is not at all what we would like to do, says Johan Padel, business area manager at Holmen Trävaror, to Norrköpings Tidningar.

The sawmill is struggling with profitability problems. According to Padel, there are two reasons why the profitability calculation does not add up: the American tariffs and reduced access to timber from the surrounding area at a competitive cost.

To adapt to this new situation, the sawmill must reduce production volume, from 450,000 cubic meters to 360,000 cubic meters of sawn timber.

According to Johan Padel, the notice was expected.

Holmen’s paper mill in Braviken will not affected by the notice.
