“This investment supports our goal of bringing the industry more custom value-added products and services, with the speed and agility that makes OrePac a preferred source.”
The acquisition is a strategic addition to OrePac’s diverse assortment of products and services. “Having worked with Western Timber Products for some time, I admire and appreciate the hard work and care of the team which shows in the quality of the products they produce,” said Brad Hart, president and CEO. “This investment supports our goal of bringing the industry more custom value-added products and services, with the speed and agility that makes OrePac a preferred source.”
Western Timber Products has produced a variety of high-quality decking, siding, and trim from their mills in Weiser and Council, Id., since 1983. Western Timber currently offers a comprehensive suite of custom milling capabilities and a wide selection of wood species, with OrePac planning to expand and bolster that offering even further. Western Timber specializes in log cabin and Teton siding, hardwood and softwood flooring, and decking.

It was obvious that OrePac and Western Timber share the same core values and passion for growth in the specialty softwoods segment.” Seid will stay on with the business to assist in the transition.
