Huber Engineered Woods (HEW) hosted the Shuqualak Mill Groundbreaking Ceremony, marking a significant milestone. This new mill, the sixth OSB plant operated by HEW, is set to become the largest investment in the history of HEW's parent company, J.M. Huber Corporation. The impressive facility will span over 550 acres and will feature a dedicated rail line material reception and shipping of finished goods. With plans for over 150 employees, the new mill is expected to generate a multiplying job creation impact for related industries like logging, hauling, and hospitality.
HEW's Shuqualak Mill is poised to provide millions of square feet of engineered wood panel products to fulfill the nation's growing demand for structural building materials. This endeavor will not only cater to the needs of the extensive network of nationwide building materials distributors and lumberyards, but it will also play a pivotal role in meeting the evolving requirements of the construction industry. Conveniently located adjacent to an existing railroad, the mill will have access to eco-friendly product shipments and material deliveries, ensuring efficient and sustainable transportation solutions. Furthermore, the new mill will be equipped with advanced technology that will help the HEW facility further reduce its environmental impact.
The groundbreaking ceremony marks the start of the excavation work. The mill is expected to achieve full-operational capacity in 2026.
