The facility, which produces Trus Joist TJI joists and Microllam LVL, will also receive a capital investment injection and hire 100 new employees by the end of 2014.
“Customer demand for engineered wood products has improved over the last year and our Evergreen facility is the ideal location to add production capacity of our Trus Joist TJI joists and Microllam LVL building products,” said Jan Marrs, manufacturing manager for Weyerhaeuser engineered lumber products.
Weyerhaeuser acquired the factory in 2000. The facility has an estimated annual production capacity of 2 million ft3 of LVL and 120 million lineal feet of TJI joists.
