Alabama Lumber Products Company To Reopen, Hire About 100 People
August 23, 2013
A lumber products company just 40 miles north of Century plans to restart production immediately and hire up to 100 employees through 2014 as production ramps up.
Weyerhaeuser today announced it will begin plans to re-start production on its lines in Evergreen, Ala., effective immediately.
The company will be investing capital in the engineered lumber products facility after a four-year closure due to previously weak wood products demand in North America. It also plans to hire 100 new employees at the facility by the end of 2014.
“Customer demand for engineered wood products has improved over the last year, and our Evergreen facility is the ideal location to add production capacity,” said Jan Marrs, manufacturing manager for Weyerhaeuser Engineered Lumber Products. “With our markets improving and positive support from both the state and local community, we are looking forward to re-starting this facility.”
“We are thrilled to welcome Weyerhaeuser back to Conecuh County. Weyerhaeuser is an excellent company and bringing this plant back on line will have an extraordinarily positive impact on the entire region,” said Coastal Gateway Regional Economic Development Alliance Chairman Larry Woods.
The Evergreen announcement comes about a month after it was announced that the West Fraser McDavid Mill in North Escambia would reopen, hiring about 80 people. In late 2008, the West Fraser McDavid mill was closed, putting about 75 people out of work. The company also closed a mill in Citronelle in 2008, cutting about 100 jobs.

That is great news for Conecuh County and specifically Castleberry where it is really located.
It’s called the Evergreen plant but is not located there. Politics but it’s all a help for Conecuh County which really needs it.
how would you apply for an office job here?
God is good!
