Oregon has designed innovation into manufacturing processes and made investments in new equipment at its mills to maximize log consumption and product quality during the last five years. They can therefore more consistently supply panels with sustainable resources at the face grades that our customers want.
New lathes and patching technology will boost the plywood factory in Oregon and put it at the forefront of specialized panel and B-face yields. The mill’s green end has been replaced by a new line at Riddle Plywood, making it the newest and most sophisticated veneer peeling operation in our sector. Additionally, when beauty is important, it improves Oregon’s capacity to build 2-step MDO (medium density overlay), which results in a buttery smooth panel.
At Oregon’s Coquille factory, a new butterfly patch has been installed, boosting incremental production capacity. Football and butterfly patches of comparable sizes will be visible to customers in the field. Sanded, siding, underlayment, and sheathing products can all have both patch styles in one unit.
Through its timberlands and integrated business model, Oregon will continue to provide value to its consumers amid this investment. In the West, their Douglas-fir fiber produces plywood panels that are stronger, more stable, and more resilient than those made from other species.
