West Fraser Timber’s OSB mill in Chambord, Quebec, Canada has completed commissioning and panels are now being produced and shipped to customers. The Company expects to obtain APA – The Engineered Wood Association certification of Chambord’s commodity OSB grades within the coming weeks.
The Chambord mill has started the ramp up towards its stated annual production capacity of 550 million square feet (3/8-inch basis), which typically takes 18-24 months.
After significant re-investment and with a strong available labour force and committed wood supply in the region, the Chambord mill is expected to be among the Company’s lowest cost OSB operations once fully ramped up.
West Fraser is a diversified wood products company with more than 60 facilities in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Europe.
