Rosboro Advances With Glulam
Major glulam producer Rosboro Co. named several primary suppliers for its upcoming $100 million-plus expansion project in Springfield, Ore. The investment includes a lamstock planer mill, expanded dry kiln capacity and a new glulam plant. The company currently produces glulam at Springfield and has been producing glulam for decades.
USNR is performing the dry kiln expansion and will provide the primary components for the new planer mill, including a USNR Model 4200 planer and transverse high grader (THG) with Deep Neural Networks.
The glulam factory will be delivered by Stiles Machinery, Kallesoe Machinery and SystemTM—all members of the Homag Group. The layout will include a high-efficiency lumber infeed and fingerjointing line that is seamlessly integrated with two high-capacity radio frequency press lines.
Chambers Construction of Eugene, Ore. will oversee design and construction of approximately 225,000 square feet of new buildings and associated infrastructure developments.
Contrary to recent reports, no new sawmill is planned, as the company already has two sawmills. One has been producing primarily lamstock, and the other, a small log stud mill, will be converted into a lamstock mill. Rosboro expects the sawmills will have adequate capacity to produce lamstock for glulam production, and doesn’t expect any increase in log consumption as the operation shifts from commodities to a value-added product.
Construction has begun, and the company expects the projects to be fully operational in 2026.
