Interfor will reduce its lumber production by approximately 145 million board feet between September and December of 2025, representing approximately 12 per cent of its normal operations.
The temporary curtailments will be through a combination of reduced operating hours, prolonged holiday breaks, reconfigured shifting schedules and extended maintenance shut downs.
The curtailments are expected to impact all of Interfor’s operating regions, with both the Canadian and U.S. operations expected to reduce their production levels by approximately 12 per cent each.
The production cuts come in response to persistently weak market conditions and ongoing economic uncertainty. Interfor will continue to monitor market conditions across all of its operations and adjust its production plans accordingly.
Interfor operates a network of production facilities across Canada and the United States and serves customers worldwide with a broad range of lumber products.
