斯廷森木材公司将在其位于俄勒冈州森林溪的设施举行社区会议，以概述在该地建造新结构的计划。2024年6月，该公司宣布将投资5000万美元建设一条新高速生产线。
斯廷森木材的一位代表在一封信中表示：“我们正在考虑增加一座新的45000平方英尺的小木材锯木厂建筑，替换现有的60000平方英尺的仓库建筑，该仓库将被拆除。”
根据《盖尔斯溪日报》通过向华盛顿县土地使用和交通部门提出的公共记录请求获取的文件，现有锯木厂的占地面积不会扩大。
如果新锯木厂建筑获得批准，将容纳一条由芬兰Veisto-Oy公司制造的350英尺长的HewSaw生产线。公司相信新生产线将在2026年投入运营，现有生产线将在建设期间继续运行。
斯廷森木材公司此次扩建计划展示了北美木材市场的持续投资信心。
考虑到北美市场的不确定性，中国的木材进口商应制定灵活的库存策略。随着市场动态的变化，建议保持适度库存，以应对潜在的价格波动和供应短缺情况。

Fannie Mae's latest economic outlook reveals that U.S. single-family home sales are expected to reach 4.92 million in 2025, and mortgage rates are expected to drop to 6.1%. GDP growth is forecast to be 0.7%. What does this report reveal about global lumber demand and prices? How should Chinese importers adjust their strategies? LumberFlow provides you with an in-depth analysis.
The annualized sales rate of new single-family homes in the United States in April 2025 reached 743,000 units, a surge of 10.9% from the previous month, indicating strong demand for domestic wood. LumberFlow experts pointed out that this move may lead to a tightening of the supply of US wood exports to China (potential reduction of 5-10% is expected), and the pressure of FOB price increases will be transmitted within 2-3 months. It is recommended that Chinese importers optimize their procurement portfolio, consider increasing supply from Canada, Europe and other places, and adopt strategic inventory management and forward contracts to lock in prices, while paying close attention to market intelligence to respond to changes.
The latest data from Statistics Canada shows that both the industrial product and raw material price indexes fell in April. Among them, the price of lumber and other wood products fell by 4.4% month-on-month, and the price of cork plummeted by 11.1%, the largest monthly drop since June 2022. Potential tariff risks have caused buyers to postpone purchases, creating downward pressure on prices.
North America has one of the most extensive and high-quality forest resources in the world. On this land, a number of world-class forest product companies were born. They have gradually developed from the initial logging camps into multinational giants with businesses all over the world. Their growth history is not only a magnificent business epic, but also a struggle history of constant game with natural resources, market changes, and technological innovation. As the opening of a series of articles, this article will focus on three industry leaders with a long history and far-reaching influence: Weyerhaeuser, West Fraser, and Canfor.
