Skeena Sawmills in TerraceBC shuts down log deliveries
Skeena Sawmills has stopped taking logs at its Terrace sawmill for three weeks as of Jan. 6, citing the high cost of logging and other factors affecting its business.
“The ongoing current high-cost economic environment has continued to put pressures on our operating margins,” Skeena Sawmills chief operating officer Greg DeMille said in a Jan. 6 release. The re-opening of the log scales will be evaluated at the end of the month and will be dependent on improved economic conditions, the release stated.
“We decided at the end of December to curtail the operations at the pellet plant for the next one to two months. This is largely due to the availability of fresh raw material from the sawmill as a result of the reduction in production output,” said DeMille.This week’s stop to log deliveries follows cuts to production through November that resulted in 50 per cent less working hours for mill employees.
