Jul 26, 2014. /Lesprom Network/. Boise Cascade Company announced that operations at their plywood mill and stud mill in Elgin, Oregon, are scheduled to be curtailed for the week of August 30 – September 6. The completion of the second segment of a long-term capital project at the log utilization center (LUC) in Elgin requires that both plants be curtailed during this time period, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

Area Manager Tom Insko stated, “All of the raw material that flows into both plants is processed through the LUC first. As part of our ongoing commitment to the Elgin complex and the plywood and stud businesses, we have a multi-phase capital project underway that will significantly improve these operations. This second phase will require a complete curtailment of log flow through the LUC in order to install new equipment. As in past years, we’ve scheduled the mills’ downtime to coincide with a normal holiday shutdown to mitigate the impact on our employees.”

Boise Cascade is one of the largest producers of engineered wood products and plywood in North America and a leading U.S. wholesale distributor of building products.
