Boise Cascade has indefinite curtailed lumber production in Chapman, Al. The curtailment will affect approximately 80 positions. 

The plywood operations at the Chapman location are unaffected.

The Worker Adjustment & Retraining Notification (WARN) Act notification was provided to impacted employees and specifies that operations will cease on Jan. 28, 2024.

“The team has worked diligently every day; however, a combination of challenges, including required future investments and overall profitability, has led to this decision,” said Chris Seymour, senior VP of mManufacturing operations. “It was a difficult and unfortunate decision, but after evaluating a number of factors over the past year, it is not feasible to continue operating at an efficient level.”

“We will work with our Chapman Lumber customers to manage the transition between now and the eventual curtailment,” said Mike Brown, executive VP, Wood Products. “We continue to focus on growing our engineered wood products business and supporting the remainder of our manufacturing locations.”
