An announcement from West Fraser Timber Co ( (TSE:WFG) ) is now available.
On November 6, 2025, West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd. announced the permanent closure of its lumber mills in Augusta, Georgia, and 100 Mile House, British Columbia, by the end of 2025 due to timber supply challenges and soft lumber markets. The closures will impact approximately 295 employees and reduce the company’s capacity by 300 million board feet. Additionally, the indefinite curtailment of the Huttig, Arkansas, and Lake Butler, Florida mills will become permanent, while the Henderson, Texas mill has commenced operations. These strategic decisions aim to better position West Fraser in a challenging market environment, with expected restructuring and impairment charges in the fourth quarter of 2025.
