Georgia-Pacific Announces $140 Million Investment in Its OSB Mill in Englehart, ON

On Tuesday, Georgia-Pacific announced a new capital project for its OSB mill in Englehart, Ontario. The approximately $140 million (CA$191 million) investment will fund a new log processing system and include the expansion and construction of a new finished goods warehouse.

This investment comes as Englehart OSB celebrates its fifteenth anniversary as a Georgia-Pacific facility. The first board was produced at the mill in 1983.

The processing system in an OSB mill takes raw wood materials and prepares them for producing OSB. This includes sorting logs, debarking, and cutting them into strands to prepare them for drying. Design and engineering work has started, and the project is expected to be completed by 2027Q2.

In a statement, David Neal, Georgia-Pacific Executive Vice President, Building Products, said:

“Georgia-Pacific is focused on the future and committed to exceeding the needs of our customers. This investment strengthens our operational capabilities and positions the Englehart mill for greater productivity in the years ahead. While we implement these improvements, the dedicated local team will continue operating the facility, ensuring we are able to meet current market demand.”
