By Rosalind Russell – Interfor says it will be indefinitely cutting operations at Nairn Centre.
In a release to the Moose, company vice-president of corporate communication & government relations Svetlana Kayumova says Interfor has made the difficult decision to indefinitely curtail operations at their Nairn Centre facility due to ongoing weak market conditions, sustained softwood lumber duties and tariffs, and continued cost pressures.
She says there is no timeline for a restart at this time.
She adds the operation will continue running for a limited period to process existing log inventory, with the sawmill expected to operate into early to mid‑June and the planer into late June, subject to confirmation.
Kayumova says the decision was not taken lightly and the company recognizes the impact this has on employees and the broader Nairn community.
