More than 50 years after supplying Roseburg Lumber with its very first composite panel press line, the US wood-based panel producer, the company has once again placed an order on Siempelkamp for a new MDF plant with a ContiRoll.
Roseburg Forest Products is considered one of the largest private forest owners in North America and is passionate about forest products. The newly commissioned Siempelkamp-equipped plant is part of a $700 million total planned investment in the Southern Oregon region. The investment includes a new state-of-the-art production MDF plant and a component manufacturing centre. It also includes technological optimizations and upgrades to existing plants. The overall project is considered to be the largest known manufacturing investment in rural Oregon and one of the largest private capital investments in the state’s history.
