Wholesale building materials supplier OrePac Building Products on June 24 announced the purchase of a 130,000-square-foot facility near Roseburg, Oregon, for the purpose of manufacturing moulding and millwork products.

OrePac fabricates, assembles and distributes door and building components at its 10 branches across the western U.S. The project is the first major greenfield investment into a manufacturing capacity for the western U.S.-based supplier.

As part of the deal, OrePac will establish Pacific Manufacturing and Logistics, a wholly owned subsidiary, to operate and manage the facility. The company anticipates that the new plant will open sometime in early 2024 and will employ up to 50 people.

The project is located within the OrePac footprint on the Interstate-5 corridor and is ideally situated to benefit the company and its supplier partners by vertically integrating its supply chain, company officials said in a news release.

This acquisition marks a major step in the company’s long-term strategic plan to expand its reach and realize its vision to be the top value-added supplier to the shelter industry, company officials said.
