BURNABY, British Columbia — Interfor, a forest products company specializing in the production and sale of various lumber and wood products based in Canada, has announced a reduction in its North American lumber production by approximately 145 million board feet between September and December of 2025, representing approximately 12% of its normal operating capacity.

The temporary curtailments will be through a combination of reduced operating hours, prolonged holiday breaks, reconfigured shifting schedules and extended maintenance shut-downs. The curtailments are expected to impact all of Interfor’s operating regions, with both the Canadian and U.S. operations expected to reduce their production levels by approximately 12% each.

The curtailments are in response to persistently weak market conditions and ongoing economic uncertainty. The company states it will continue to monitor market conditions across all of its operations and adjust its production plans accordingly.
