Plum Creek to restart production at its Evergreen Sawmill

COLUMBIA FALLS, Montana - Plum Creek today (Wednesday, Feb. 27, 2013) announced that it plans to restart production at its Evergreen sawmill in Montana in early April. The facility will operate with one shift and employ 30 people. A lack of demand for stud lumber products led to a decision to close the facility indefinitely in June 2009. Since that time, the company has continued to closely monitor market conditions.

"While the recession took a toll on Plum Creek’s manufacturing business, lately we have witnessed a slow but steady improvement in the marketplace," said Tom Ray, vice president northwest resources and manufacturing. "As we re-open the facility, we are pleased to welcome the return of several employees who previously worked at the facility. Other positions will be filled by employees transferring from other company manufacturing plants. Plum Creek is recruiting to replace several open positions."
