The Oregon-based company plans to open a sawmill in South
Carolina.
Hampton Lumber, a producer of sustainable building materials,
announced it selects Allendale County to establish the company’s
first sawmill on the East Coast. The company’s $225 million
investment will create at least 125 new jobs.
Headquartered in Oregon, Hampton Lumber is a fourth-generation,
family-owned producer of high-quality wood products sourced from
sustainable managed forest resources.
Operating nine sawmills in Oregon, Washington and British
Columbia, Canada, the company markets and sells building
materials worldwide.
Hampton Lumber will construct a state-of-the-art,
375,000-square-foot lumber mill located at Highway 321 and
Barker Mill Pond Road in Fairfax.
The new operation will specialize in producing quality Southern
Yellow Pine framing lumber. Construction of the mill is expected
to begin later this year, with operations slated to commence in
early 2027.
