USNR is expanding its operations in Eugene. The investment moves the existing operation to a new, expanded building that will be outfitted to meet the growing needs of USNR’s business.
The Eugene location is home to a team that supports and advances optimization and veneer handling activities. It is the U.S. base for USNR’s optimization technology, from hardwood, shop and moulding, and green lumber grade scanning, to veneer scanning and grading. From logs to lumber and blocks to dry veneer, the Eugene team has a key role in the development of innovations for the solid wood and engineered wood industries.
The new location encompasses more than 60,000 square feet, situated on 3.2 acres. The majority of the space will house electrical manufacturing, with the remainder for engineering, R&D and training facilities, warehousing and sales offices. The new location is expected to be operational in January 2019.
