Roseburg Forest Products has closed operations at its Dillard Hardwood Plywood facility and will exit the hardwood plywood market, the company announced Thursday.

The Douglas County based lumber company said in a release that the decision was made to reflect the long-term plan for Roseburg Forest Products to concentrate resources on a more focused product portfolio with sustained customer demand and long-term growth potential.

The Dillard Hardwood Plywood plant employed 107 people. RFP said it is encouraging those employees to apply for open positions at other facilities and that the company is providing dedicated support and resources during the transition.

RFP’s Dillard complex also includes MDF and lumber production. Those operations will continue at the site. The Hardwood Plywood plant was one of the company’s longest-operating facilities, according to the release.

“Successful businesses never stand still, and that’s been true for Roseburg for 90 years,” said Stuart Gray, President and CEO. “As we look to the future, we’re sharpening our focus on the products and capabilities that support the best use of our high-quality veneers and fiber.”

The company said it has invested nearly $700 million in its Southern Oregon operations since April 2023, to support long-term growth and regional economic vitality.

Roseburg Forest Products was founded in 1936 and manages timberlands in Oregon, North Carolina and Virginia.
