Roseburg particleboard and TFL plant invests in latest value-adding technology
20 April 2022Roseburg’s Missoula Composites plant has continued its long process of site investment into 2022 with the installation of new technology.
The 200-acre site in western Montana produces particleboard and thermally fused laminate (TFL) panels and was acquired by Roseburg in 2003.
Starting in 2014, Missoula began upgrading its forming, classifying, screening, and pollution control systems to transform the site into a modern legacy plant.
The team has continued this transformation into 2022 with two new shelving lines, a CNC/drilling line, and continued advancements in sawing and innovative robotics.
These equipment investments make it possible for Roseburg to produce shelving, countertops, stair tread, door core, and a wide variety of panels that are used in the production of cabinetry, furniture, bookshelves, and ready-to-assemble storage and closet systems.
“As housing construction continues to grow and consumers continue to remodel and improve their home and work spaces, these materials are in high demand,” the company said.
The mill uses primarily Ponderosa pine wood residuals that come from neighbouring sawmills and other wood production facilities in Montana, Idaho, and Canada.
Product brands include UltraBlend, SkyBlend and Duramine.
