Weyerhaeuser Co. announced the permanent closure of its Lillie, La., particleboard and Tulsa, Okla., corrugated sheet manufacturing facilities.
Weyerhaeuser plans to close the Lillie operation by the end of this year. The Tulsa closure is taking place, effective immediately
Weyerhaeuser said both closures would help the company match production to customer needs and improve operating efficiency. The closures will not affect customers, who will now be served by other Weyerhaeuser facilities.
Both operations were part of the Willamette Industries acquisition that Weyerhaeuser completed earlier this year.
