Established
Located off Interstate 49 near the halfway point between Alexandria and Natchitoches, Louisiana, is our Chopin mill, which manufactures plywood, timbers, and boards. This massive, state-of-the-art plant was completed in 1996 and has undergone many expansions to become one of North America’s largest single-site plywood producers. Complementing the plywood plant is our timbers mill, which was added in 2014. The Chopin facility has a substantial economic impact on Natchitoches Parish and the local community, employing approximately 755 team members.
