Canfor Purchases El Dorado Sawmill.

Canfor Corp. has acquired the El Dorado lumber manufacturing facility in Union County, Arkansas from Resolute El Dorado Inc. The $73 million acquisition will create synergies and vertical integration opportunities for Canfor. The facility produces dimension lumber and specialty wood products, and with planned upgrades, production capacity is expected to increase to 175MMBF annually. Canfor's operations in Arkansas date back to 1916 through a legacy of operations that began with the Anthony Forest Products Co. [Extracted from the article]
