Jordan Forest Products, a wood products manufacturing company, will invest more than $1.4 million to expand its production facility in Biscoe, North Carolina. The company plans to create 31 jobs in Montgomery County during the next three years.
Jordan Forest Products, an affiliate of Jordan Lumber and Supply, has become one of the most respected mills on the East Coast and one of the largest privately-owned lumber companies in the country, the Governor Pat McCrory’s Office said. With its headquarters in Mount Gilead, the company plans to expand its operations to produce wooden pallet components. Jordan Lumber and its subsidiaries currently employ 301 people in Montgomery County and also have a facility in Georgia.
“Jordan Lumber is pleased to again have the opportunity to expand in our great home state of North Carolina. The strong work force here and our positive working relationships with both local and state government are great contributing factors to our success in continuing to create new job opportunities.“ said Robert Jordan, IV, Vice President of Operations.
“North Carolina is a strong producer of wood products,” said Gov. McCrory. “It makes great business sense for Jordan Forest Products to expand here where they’ve been doing business for more than seven decades.”
“North Carolina is proud to call Jordan Lumber one of its strong business partners,” said Sharon Decker, N.C. Secretary of Commerce. “The decision to expand their Montgomery County operations is a sign that the demand for wood products is increasing and North Carolina is the best place for this company to grow.”
