Conifex Timber reducing shift at its El Dorado sawmill

Conifex Timber Inc. is implementing one shift operations at its El Dorado sawmill in order to optimize and upgrade operations during the current poor market conditions, as the company says in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

The shift reduction is expected to reduce Conifex’s planned US South lumber production by approximately 5 million board feet in the 2Q 2019.

Conifex and its subsidiaries' primary business currently includes timber harvesting, reforestation, forest management, sawmilling logs into lumber and wood chips, and value added lumber finishing and distribution.
