The plant is a state-of-the-art manufacturing operation which will produce world-class decorative wood panel products used in home interiors and furniture across North America.

The mill has a total production capacity of 452 million ft2 (¾in basis). This is the first greenfield composite panel facility completed in the US in nearly 20 years.
