OrePac Building Products, a wholesale supplier of interior and exterior building materials, and Western Timber Products, a specialty wood products manufacturer, announced a definitive agreement for OrePac to purchase the Western Timber business, with the deal estimated to close at or near the beginning of April, '24.

The acquisition is a strategic addition to OrePac's diverse assortment of products and services.

Western Timber Products, headquartered in Coeur d' Alene, Idaho, has produced a variety of high-quality decking, siding, and trim from their mills in Weiser and Council, Idaho since 1983. Western Timber currently offers a comprehensive suite of custom milling capabilities and a wide selection of wood species, with OrePac planning to expand and bolster that offering even further. 

Dan Seid, owner and president of Western Timber Products adds, "After over 40 years, I am proud to see our business carried on through OrePac's ownership. It was obvious that OrePac and Western Timber share the same core values and passion for growth in the specialty softwoods segment." Seid will stay on with the business to assist in the transition.
