Hampton Lumber Announces Plans to Build New Sawmill in South Carolina

Hampton Lumber Company announced plans to build a new, state-of-the-art sawmill in Allendale County, South Carolina. This new facility will expand Hampton’s presence in the U.S. and support the company’s long-term vision to become North America’s preferred source of wood solutions.

The new mill will specialize in producing high-quality Southern Yellow Pine framing lumber. This will be the company’s first new sawmill on the East Coast and once fully operational, will provide 125-140 new jobs in the area.

Hampton Lumber brings over 80 years of experience in the sawmill business to this new venture. A fourth-generation, family-owned company, Hampton currently operates nine sawmills in Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia. The new mill will complement these existing operations and help the company diversify its product offerings.

Construction of the mill is expected to begin later this year, with operations slated to commence in early 2027.
