Tolko Industries has partnered with Louisiana-based Hunt Forest Products to build a state-of-the-art sawmill near Urania, Louisiana, US.<\/em><\/p>\n

Construction of the approximately USD$115 million project is expected to commence in April and be completed by December 2018. It will employ approximately 110 people and will produce southern yellow pine lumber from timber harvested in the surrounding area. The LaSalle Lumber Company, the joint-venture company building and operating the new mill, is named after LaSalle Parish, the county in Louisiana where the mill will be built.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our first venture into the United States<\/em>,\u201d said Brad Thorlakson, Tolko president and CEO.<\/p>\n

The scope of the project includes a 200 Million-board-foot facility that will consume approximately 850,000 tons of timber annually, three continuous dry kilns and a planer facility. Wood chips, sawdust, planer shavings and hog fuel will be contracted to Drax Biomass, which operates a 450,000-ton wood pellet facility adjacent to the sawmill.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are excited to be bringing a high-tech sawmill, and the skilled jobs it will provide, to central Louisiana, and to provide a local outlet for the massive inventory of southern yellow pine that exists in this region<\/em>,\u201d said James D. Hunt, co-owner and vice chairman of the Board of Directors of Hunt Forest Products.<\/p>\n

Tolko is a leading manufacturer of a wide range of forest products for customers around the world, including lumber, plywood, and veneer oriented strand board co-products, biomass power and a growing number of specialty wood products.<\/p>\n

Hunt Forest Products L.L.C. is a full-service wood products company founded in 1978 with the purpose of providing quality products and superior service. They manufacture a variety of plywood, lumber, and other specialty wood products.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
