Georgia-Pacific Commits $140M to improve OSB mill in Ontario
Gorgia Pacific Englehart OSB Expansion

ENGLEHART, Ontario — Georgia-Pacific announced plans to spend about $140 million for a new log processing system, plus expand and construct a new finished goods warehouse of its Englehart operation.

The processing system in an OSB mill takes raw wood materials and prepares them for producing OSB. This includes sorting logs, debarking, and cutting them into strands to prepare them for drying. Design and engineering work has started, and the project is expected to be completed by the second quarter of 2027.

David Neal, executive vice president, building products, said. “This investment strengthens our operational capabilities and positions the Englehart mill for greater productivity in the years ahead.”
