Weyerhaeuser will invest $157 million in a multi-year, two-phase project to upgrade equipment and modernize its sawmill in Holden, Louisiana.<\/em><\/p>\n

Phase one includes nearly $19 million to upgrade lumber kiln-drying capacity, while the second phase will include a major investment of approximately $138 million to completely modernize the facility. The news was announced May 12 by Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards and Weyerhaeuser.<\/p>\n

The work is expected to take place over the next three years. Plans call to upgrade and modernize the sawmill to produce longer-length lumber, add a new planer mill, and upgrade and add two new continuous dry kilns for increased drying capacity. Additionally, the company said it will build out the necessary infrastructure; upgrade computer technology, control rooms, and heating and fan systems; invest in environmental technology to meet current performance standards; and invest in quality and safety equipment.<\/p>\n

Acquired in 1996, the Holden facility is part of Weyerhaeuser\u2019s lumber sector within its overall Wood Products business. The mill supports the residential housing, home improvement and construction markets.<\/p>\n

Weyerhaeuser\u00a0owns or controls approximately 11 million acres of timberlands in the United States and manages additional timberlands under long-term licenses in Canada. The company is also one of the largest manufacturers of wood products in North America. In 2020, the company generated $7.5 billion in net sales and employed approximately 9,400 people.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
