PORTLAND, Ore. — Timberlab Holdings Inc., the parent company of a leading national provider of holistic mass timber systems Timberlab Inc., has set its sights on Millersburg, Oregon, as the site for its state-of-the-art cross-laminated timber (CLT) manufacturing facility. 

Nestled near NE Conser Road and the Portland and Western Railroad (PNWR) on land that has been zoned for industrial use since the 1970s, the chosen location has access to rail and the nearby I-5 corridor. 

Timberlab plans to tap into the local talent pool, collaborate with the research activities at nearby Oregon State University and the University of Oregon and work with the region's forestry growers, harvesters, mills, transportation networks, and community members. It's a symbiotic relationship that Timberlab is eager to cultivate.

The facility, set to produce 100,000 cubic meters of CLT products each year, promises to be a "marvel of modern manufacturing," the company said.  With cutting-edge automation and an efficient design, the plant is projected to create 100 manufacturing jobs at peak operation, positioning it as one of the largest CLT producers in the nation. 

"I am thrilled to support Timberlab's innovative CLT facility in Millersburg. This project represents a significant investment in our local economy and brings 100 well-paying manufacturing jobs to our community," said State Rep. Shelly Boshart Davis. "More importantly, it bolsters Oregon's forestry industry, particularly in our rural and smaller communities, by creating a sustainable demand for locally sourced timber. By partnering with forward-thinking companies like Timberlab, we are fostering economic growth and championing our forests' health and sustainability."
