BURNABY, B.C. — Interfor has announced revised operating plans for the fourth quarter of 2025. Due to persistently weak market conditions and ongoing economic uncertainty, Interfor will further temporarily reduce lumber production across its operations in British Columbia, Ontario, the US Pacific Northwest and the US South.

These curtailments are expected to reduce lumber production in the fourth quarter of 2025 by approximately 250 million board feet, or 26%, as compared to the second quarter of 2025, which reflected a more normal operating stance. The curtailment volumes are approximately evenly split between Interfor’s Canadian and U.S. operations.

Interfor produced 936 million board feet of lumber in the second quarter of 2025 and approximately 910 million board feet of lumber in the third quarter of 2025.

These curtailments are an amendment to Interfor’s previously announced curtailments on September 4, 2025.

“Lumber prices in all regions of North America have continued to weaken, from already unsustainably low levels,” said Ian Fillinger, Interfor’s president & CEO. “Our revised operating plans for the fourth quarter reflect our disciplined approach to match production levels with reduced market demand. While necessary, we fully recognize the impact these actions will have on our employees, contractors, suppliers, and communities.”

The company will continue to monitor market conditions across all of its operations and adjust its production plans accordingly.
