Weyerhaeuser announced it will indefinitely curtail operations at its Structurwood plant in Hudson Bay, Saskatchewan, by early July.
“The continued challenges in the North American housing market require us to bring supply into balance with demand,” said Phil Dennett, Weyerhaeuser’s Vice President, Strand Technologies.
There are 170 people directly employed at the Hudson Bay oriented strand board mill.
The mill will be left in a secure state from which operations can be resumed in the future. “We will also use this time to explore transfer of ownership opportunities for this operation,” said Dennett.
The Hudson Bay plant is one of nine oriented strand board mills in the Weyerhaeuser system. It has annual production capacity of 550 million square feet. The Hudson Bay facility reduced its operations to five days per week of production in the spring of 2007. |
