Timberlab Holdings, Inc., owner of Timberlab, Inc., a leading national provider of holistic mass timber systems, and Diversified Wood Resources, LLC, doing business as American Laminators, an Oregon-based glue-laminated timber (glulam) manufacturer, announce that they have entered into an agreement for Timberlab to acquire the assets of American Laminators and will continue operating their two Oregon-based facilities in Drain and Swisshome beginning June 10, 2024.
"American Laminators has a rich history of producing high-quality glulam products. Their attention to detail and the quality of their products are fantastic. The addition of their team to our organization will continue to translate into value for our clients," states Timberlab President Christopher Evans. "Following our announcement in March to build and operate a cross-laminated timber (CLT) manufacturing facility in the Mid-Willamette Valley, acquiring American Laminators is another leap forward to advancing our capabilities and services in the mass timber industry."
Since its founding in 1962, American Laminators has been one of the leading manufacturers of custom glulam in the United States. They produce the longest-spanning glulam in North America, utilizing a clear glue that adds to the high aesthetic value of their product.
The Drain and Swisshome locations have been operating for over 60 years, utilizing Douglas Fir, Southern Yellow Pine and Alaskan Yellow Cedar, accounting for an annual capacity of 20 million board feet. Each facility will undergo operational upgrades to continue enhancing product optimization and continuing the legacy of manufacturing in the Drain and Swisshome communities.
