Timberlab Inc, a subsidiary of Swinerton Incorporated and provider of holistic mass timber systems, plans to establish operations in Millersburg, Oregon. The approximately $117 million project is expected to create 100 jobs. The investment will include the construction of a 190,000-square-foot cross-laminated timber manufacturing facility, located on 33.51 acres, which will produce 7 to 9 million square feet of CLT annually. Operations are scheduled for 2027. “This facility groundbreaking is happening at a pivotal moment. Over the last 18 months, Oregon mills have been closing and jobs have been lost,” said Chris Evans, Timberlab president. “The firm is committed to investing in rural economies, as proven by its investment in two GLT facilities and a sawmill and planing mill, all in rural Oregon. …“Today’s groundbreaking marks an exciting step forward in the growth of Oregon’s mass timber industry – a revolutionary technology key to our shared goal of building a sustainable, low-carbon future,” noted Governor Tina Kotek.
