Interfor says it will be indefinitely cutting operations at Nairn Centre located in Nairn & Hyman Township. In a release to the Moose, company vice-president of corporate communication & government relations Svetlana Kayumova says Interfor has made the difficult decision to indefinitely curtail operations at their Nairn Centre and Gogama facilities due to ongoing weak market conditions. Like many others in our sector, we are navigating a combination of persistent market headwinds and the continued impact of U.S. trade actions, including softwood lumber duties. These pressures have made it increasingly difficult to operate certain facilities in a sustainable way. She says there is no timeline for a restart at this time. She adds the operation will continue running for a limited period to process existing log inventory, with the sawmill expected to operate into early to mid‑June and the planer into late June, subject to confirmation. Kayumova says the decision was not taken lightly and, “we recognize the impact this has on our employees, their families, and the broader community, and we are working with these stakeholders as this decision is implemented”.
