Canfor Expands Footprint in Arkansas with Iron Mountain lumber manufacturing Acquisition

International Forest Industries - Thu, 15/08/2024 - 09:30

Canfor Corporation has successfully completed the acquisition of a lumber manufacturing facility in Union County, Arkansas, from Arkansas Resolute El Dorado Inc.

This strategic move, initially announced on May 1, 2024, aims to enhance Canfor’s regional operations by integrating the newly acquired facility, now renamed the Iron Mountain sawmill, with its existing El Dorado Laminating Plant and nearby Urbana sawmill.

The acquisition is expected to foster operational synergies and provide vertical integration opportunities with Canfor’s two glulam plants. This expansion will also bolster the company’s capacity to serve customers and markets in the US South more effectively.

Lee Goodloe, President of Canfor Southern Pine, emphasized the strategic nature of this acquisition, highlighting its potential to expand the company’s manufacturing capabilities within Arkansas’ high-quality wood basket. Goodloe also expressed enthusiasm for the investment and expansion plans for the mill, which are poised to offer a more comprehensive product range to customers.

In welcoming the new Iron Mountain employees, Goodloe underscored Canfor’s commitment to local engagement and strengthening relationships with the El Dorado community, as well as with Iron Mountain’s partners, suppliers, and customers.
