<\/p>\n
Roseburg will permanently end operations at its Taylorsville, Mississippi, particleboard plant on August 21, 2023. <\/span>While the plant will no longer produce particleboard, a forest products company has signed a letter of intent to purchase the facility for an alternate use. The transaction is expected to close later this year, pending completion of standard due diligence and regulatory activities.<\/p>\n
Roseburg acquired the Taylorsville particleboard plant from Georgia-Pacific in 2006 in an expansion of the company\u2019s composite panel business. The Taylorsville plant is now among the oldest particleboard mills in North America, and the plant\u2019s press equipment and technology have aged to the point that it can no longer compete with newer domestic particleboard mills and the influx of imported products.<\/p>\n
The plant currently employs approximately 100 team members. Roseburg will work with local resources to assist affected team members as the closure date approaches.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
