Timberlab Plans to Build Its New CLT Facility in Millersburg, OR

Timberlab Holdings, Inc., the parent company of the leading national provider of holistic mass timber systems Timberlab, Inc., announced that it plans to build its new state-of-the-art cross-laminated timber (CLT) manufacturing facility in Millersburg, Oregon.

The company announced plans for the new facility in March, and the selected site is near the Philomath, Oregon, sawmill that Timberlab recently acquired from Interfor.

Nestled near the Portland and Western Railroad (PNWR) on land that has been zoned for industrial use since the 1970s, the chosen location is logistically ideal, with access to rail and the nearby I-5 corridor.

Timberlab plans to tap into the local talent pool, collaborate with the research activities at nearby Oregon State University and the University of Oregon, and work with the region’s forestry growers, harvesters, mills, transportation networks, and community members. It’s a symbiotic relationship that Timberlab is eager to cultivate, the company said.

The facility is expected to produce 100,000 cubic meters of CLT products each year. With cutting-edge automation and an efficient design, the plant is projected to create 100 new living wage manufacturing jobs at peak operation, positioning it as one of the largest CLT producers in the nation.
