Interfor launches world-class Reserve Pine products

Jul 16, 2014. /Lesprom Network/. Interfor Corporation has entered the niche premium board market with the launch of its new top-of-the line Reserve Pine products, turning its Gilchrist Mill in Oregon into a world-class speciality mill, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

"We have invested millions of dollars to equip our Gilchrist Mill with the most advanced finishing system in the world, putting it on the map as a leader in the one-inch premium board market," Steven Hofer, Interfor Senior Vice President of Sales & Marketing, said today. "With Reserve Pine, we are building value for customers by providing a high-quality product with an impeccable finished look and feel."

Reserve Pine boards are sourced from some of the best Pine stands in North America, and manufactured to Interfor's exacting standards. Since 2004, the Company has invested more than $15 million to upgrade its Gilchrist Mill, including $5 million in the last year to install a Weinig H5000 high-speed moulder and precision planer heads. This state-of-the-art equipment provides the accuracy needed to deliver a superb finish quality on both the faces and edges of Reserve Pine products.

Reserve Pine boards are made with slow-growing Lodgepole and Ponderosa Pine from the high plateau of central Oregon, giving them a distinct grain pattern, tight knots and an appealing golden color. Available in dimensions from 1x4 to 1x12, they have a moulded micro-eased 1/16th radius edge and are ideal for fascia, interior trim, general building construction and pattern blanks.

Interfor is a growth-oriented lumber company with operations in Canada and the United States.
