Weyerhaeuser said Thursday it will indefinitely close its veneer and lumber mills in Pine Hill, Ala., effective immediately. The announcement will affect approximately 300 employees at the site.
"The demand for residential wood products continues to erode and this announcement is a direct result of the business environment we face," said Tom Gideon, executive vice president, Forest Products.
Weyerhaeuser said it employs approximately 350 at six other Alabama facilities, and manages more than 580,000 acres of timber in the state.
