The current economic crisis is hitting the forest industry in northern Ontario hard, but at least one company is predicting an increase in production, rather than cutbacks.
The I-Level timberstrand mill in Kenora has been running only one to two days a week based on its order book.
Mill Manager, Bill Candline says they expect to increase production later this year as inventory from two closed timberstrand mills in the United States is finally used up.
The I-Level plant on the Jones Road is the only mill in North America currently producing timberstrand, and Candline says that puts them in a good position.
