On November 6 Interfor, out of Vancouver, BC, announced its plans to invest $50 million in state-of-the-art technology for their sawmill operation in Castlegar, BC.
The project will convert the mill into a two-line operation from three lines, as well as increase production capacity to 210 million board feet from its current level of 185 million board feet.
This investment aims to significantly improve lumber recovery, productivity and grade out-turns at the facility, and lower conversion costs.
Construction will begin this month, and is expected to be completed by the first quarter of 2016.
