International Timber & Veneer (ITV) will cease operations in August. According to a WARN notice filed with the state of Pennsylvania, the company is closing its facility located at 75 McQuiston Drive in Jackson Center, Pa., leaving at least 81 workers in the lurch. The company puts blame on the current economic situation. On a statement posted on its website, ITV specifically highlights the difficulty of navigating fallout from the ongoing trade war. “Increasingly unpredictable customs policies, a tense international trade climate, and above all, the import ban on American logs into China, have made raw material procurement highly uncertain. Under these economic conditions, we no longer see a viable long-term outlook for the continued operation of International Timber & Veneer.”
