Parr Lumber invests in truss operation

Hillsboro, Oregon-based Parr Lumber acquired a 7.5-acre property in Cornelius, Oregon. The property includes a 15,000 sq. ft. building, and the lumber company with diverse holdings has plans for the facility.

After renovating, the company plans to open their second Quality Truss location, a state-of-the-art roof truss and open web floor manufacturing and assembly facility.   

Located at 6855 NW Cornelius Schefflin Road, the site is within the Tualatin Valley Basin and approximately 17 miles west of Portland.

Parr also owns and operates Quality Truss of Redmond, Oregon.

“Opening the second facility will allow us to increase our capacity, gain efficiencies in our distribution, and improve our lead times,” said Doug Wirges, Parr Lumber’s CEO. “As always, the goal is to make our customer’s more competitive.  Improving our lead time, will improve their lead time.”  Parr anticipates the opening of this facility and expects to create approximately 30 full-time jobs once fully operational. The timeline for the project was not announced.

The Parr Company consists of six distinct companies that provide building solutions and services: Parr Lumber Company, Parr Cabinet Design Center, Cascade Wholesale Hardware, NSC, NSCi, and Parr Marketing Group.

Parr operates 32 facilities, and cabinet design centers.
