Louisiana-Pacific Corporation (LP) is the latest company to join a growing list of lumber producers who are curtailing mill operations, primarily in British Columbia.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

LP announced that its Peace Valley facility in Fort St. John, B.C., will indefinitely curtail production of oriented strand board (OSB) beginning early in the third quarter.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite efforts by our Peace Valley team to reduce costs over the past several months, this decision is necessary to support the optimization of our OSB business in challenging market conditions,\u201d said Jason Ringblom, LP executive vice president for OSB. \u201cDeclining housing starts, high wood costs and associated cost pressures require us to take this action that aligns with our performance driven strategy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sluggish demand and dwindling lumber prices, partially due to a slow housing market in the United States, is leading lumber suppliers to temporarily halt operations.<\/p>\n

The curtailment move by Nashville, Tenn.-based LP places it on a\u00a0list of large lumber suppliers\u00a0who have already announced that they were suspending operations including Canfor, Interfor, West Fraser and Western Forest Products, among others.<\/p>\n

Ringblom added, \u201cThis decision ensures that LP is efficiently balancing our commodity OSB production with our customer demand and improving the overall competitiveness of our OSB business. Going forward, we will leverage our strong manufacturing footprint across Canada and the U.S. to meet the needs of our valued customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Peace Valley OSB mill currently employs approximately 190 people. It has an annual capacity of 800 million square feet (3\/8-inch basis), according to LP.<\/p>\n
