Weyerhaeuser Curtails New Bern Sawmill
Operations at Weyerhaeuser’s sawmill in New Bern, NC have reportedly been curtailed.
The company stated: “We can confirm that in response to a combination of site-specific and market-related factors, we are indefinitely curtailing operations at our sawmill in New Bern, North Carolina. We did not come to this decision lightly given the significant impact on our employees, their families and the surrounding community, where we have a long history. We conducted a thorough analysis to evaluate the mill’s long-term viability and competitiveness, but due to challenging market conditions, as well as the facility’s cost structure, lack of scale, and limited integration with other operations, we made the difficult decision to indefinitely curtail operations at the mill.”
The New Bern sawmill has a workforce of 75 employees, and the company said it is working to minimize the impact of the curtailment by providing opportunities at other Weyerhaeuser operations for certain employees and transition resources for those who are eligible.
