Canadian sawmill company Canfor will be operating on reduced capacity at their Western Canadian cites as a result of worldwide supply shortages, company spokespeople stated on Thursday.
The facilities in question have only been running on 80% capacity since March. The company will also be putting into place a rotating downtime policy in its primary western sawmills throughout July and August in order to resume normal operating schedules following the summer.
CEO Don Kayne told reporters: “The global supply challenges are continuing to significantly limit our ability to transport products to our customers and our inventory levels remain very high.”
“We are working to bring our inventory levels back into balance by reducing our production, while also working to meet the needs of our customers.”
