San Group says it’s temporarily curtailing operations at its mills in Port Alberni due to a lack of “log supply” along B.C.’s coast.
Forestry company It will impact about 75 workers at its two sawmill locations and its value-added plant in Port Alberni.
“Unfortunately lack of log supply has put us in a situation where we cannot continue to run efficiently on key product lines connected to our markets and customer demand,” he said. “If the logs are available, we will run both mills,” he said. “The restricted log supply is having a direct impact on our value-added facility in Port Alberni.”
“Despite our location in what once was the breadbasket of forestry and manufacturing on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, most of the logs that currently feed our large log mill are distributed into Port Alberni from suppliers on the North Island and Central Coast. That supply is very lean right now,” said Sanghera.
