Oregon to open CLT Plant

28/10/2014

A $150,000 grant has been awarded to Dr. Johnson Lumber Co. from Oregon BEST. The grant will help the company in partnership with Oregon State University develop the countries 2nd CLT plant. The first CLT manufacturer in the United States is located in Whitefish Montana and has selected to keep their products out of the construction industry and instead focus on rig mats which provide a consistent sales base. We hope that this new Oregon based manufacture located near Riddle in Southern Oregon will help promote the use of this material in modern construction techniques. 

There are also rumours of another CLT plant in partnership with European companies opening in Idaho.
