Atlantic Veneer Corporation of Beaufort, North Carolina is cutting 67 jobs from its veneer manufacturing division because of lower demand for decorative wood products in US and international markets.
Atlantic Veneer makes hardwood veneer, lumber and plywood and has about 350 employees, according to the Jacksonville Daily News, which said workers in the company’s plywood division were not affected.
President and ceo Christian Weygoldt said he was determined the company would emerge from the current challenging market conditions as an even stronger company positioned for growth.
