The Barnesville sawmill was constructed and started up in 1981/82 and has operated continuously since that time. Until December 1992, the original owner/operator was the Proctor and Camble Company. In December of 1992 Weyerhaeuser acquired the Barnesville location and additional properties as part of a strategic decision to enter Georgia with a competitive presence in solid wood products, a Weyerhaeuser core business. In 2004 the sawmill was sold to Jordan Lumber Company.
The Barnesville Plant has developed over the years from 132 employees to 160 with production increasing from 67 million board feet to over 100 million board feet annually. In addition to the direct employment of personnel to operate the mill an additional 3-5 jobs are created for each plant employee in the related supply organizations and support industries necessary to the operation of the Barnesville facility. |
