West Fraser is halting production at a couple of sawmills in the U.S.
The company announced today (Tuesday) that is will close its sawmill in Maxville, Florida and indefinitely curtail operations at its mill in Huttig, Arkansas by the end of the month.
It says the decisions are the result of high fibre costs and soft lumber markets.
The closure of the Maxville sawmill will impact approximately 80 employees, while the indefinite curtailment of Huttig will impact 140 employees.
