My father-in-law (RIP) worked at the Weyerhauser plant in Grande Prairie, Alberta. It was well-run. That facility largely made wood for export to Japan, where they pay top dollar for too quality. The company was good with land management, too. Likely a smart move on their part.
Yes it was and is.
I sold wood pulp from there. The BEST fiber for toilet paper. Highly coveted by TP and tissue manufacturers. (The mill was built by P&G for Charmin 50+ years ago).
But I digress......
Grand Prairie, AB is still running.
As is Weyco’s other mill in Alberta.
However, they have agreed to sell the Princeton, BC mill to Gorman Brothers Sawmills. Who was their largest customer for that sawmill. Gorman makes 1” boards primarily.
Weyco also operates Raymond & Longview, WA as dimension mills producing KD and green Douglas Fir dimension.
Plus Cottage Grove, OR which is more of a timber/cutting sawmill.
Then they have multiple mills in the southeast and south central USA making Southern Yellow Pine dimension lumber.
They also have multiple OSB mills.
They are also the largest private land owner in the state of Washington.
