West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. Announces to Permanently Close Its Sawmill in Fraser Lake, British Columbia West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. announced that it will permanently close its sawmill in Fraser Lake, British Columbia, following an orderly wind-down. Today’s decision is the result of West Fraser’s inability to access economically viable fibre in the region. The closure of Fraser Lake Sawmill will impact approximately 175 employees. West Fraser expects to mitigate the impact on affected employees by providing work opportunities at other West Fraser operations. The mill closure will reduce West Fraser’s Canadian lumber capacity by approximately 160 million board feet. West Fraser anticipates recording restructuring and impairment charges of approximately $81 million in the fourth quarter of 2023 related to facility closures and curtailments due to availability of economic fibre sources in British Columbia.

Ltd. announced that it will close its sawmill in Maxville, Florida and indefinitely curtail operations at its sawmill in Huttig, Arkansas by the end of this month. This decision is the result of high fiber costs and soft lumber markets. The closure of Maxville Sawmill will impact approximately 80 employees, while the indefinite curtailment of Huttig will impact 140 employees. In aggregate this will reduce West Fraser's U.S. lumber capacity by approximately 270 million board feet. West Fraser expects to mitigate the impact on affected employees by providing work opportunities at other company operations. High fiber costs at Maxville and the current low-price commodity environment have impaired the ability of both mills to profitably operate. The closure of Maxville and the indefinite curtailment of the Huttig sawmill better aligns its U.S. lumber capacity with demand.
