Hampton Lumber announced plans to build a new, state-of-the-art sawmill in Allendale County, South Carolina. This facility will expand Hampton’s presence in the U.S. and support the company’s long-term vision to become North America’s preferred source of wood solutions. The new mill will specialize in producing high-quality Southern Yellow Pine framing lumber. This will be the company’s first new sawmill on the East Coast and once fully operational, will provide 125-140 new jobs in the area.
Hampton Lumber is committed to operating one of the most efficient dimension lumber mills in the region. The facility will help meet the growing demand for housing materials while creating high-quality jobs and fostering long-term economic growth in the area.
Construction of the mill is expected to begin later this year, with operations slated to commence in early 2027.
With over 80 years in the sawmill business, Hampton Lumber operates sawmills in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia and markets wood products all over the world. Hampton also manages a wholesale and lumber export division and numerous reload, remanufacturing and advanced wood manufacturing facilities throughout the U.S. through affiliates, Idaho Timber and RedBuilt.
