Allyn Ford, President and CEO outlined a number of considerations in why the decision was made to move the corporate headquarters to Springfield:
- The increasing challenge attracting and retaining high level technical and professional staff, as many prefer to live in and work in a more urban community;
- The benefit of being closer to a major airport, with improved accessibility for both staff who travel extensively for Roseburg, as well as for bringing customers into visit.
-The more frequent access to financial and legal services that assist Roseburg.
Even though the headquarters will move to Springfield, the Dillard office will remain the location for the company’s Western Region Operations and Resource group.
The company is in the process of identifying which administrative departments and functions will most benefit by this relocation and expects to have final plans in place and communicated by this September.
Roseburg Forest Products is one of the largest privately owned wood–products companies in the United States.
