CORNITH, MS – Timber Products Company plans to install a clear ultraviolet finishing process to its hardwood plywood plant in Corinth.

The Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) provided assistance through the Job Protection Grant program for building modifications in support of this project. The Tennessee Valley Authority and The Alliance of Corinth and Alcorn County also provided assistance for building modifications.
“Timber Products Company is very excited about expanding its operations in Corinth. This expansion is providing us with a more diversified product offering, allowing us to enter new markets, create new jobs and help protect existing jobs,” said Bud Reaves, division controller for Timber Products Company.
Timber Products, based in Springfield, OR, has operated the Corinth hardwood plywood plant for approximately 20 years. The company also owns seven other manufacturing operations across the country.
