OrePac expanding into manufacturing

OrePac Building Products reported that it has purchased a 130,000-square-foot facility on 40 acres near Roseburg, Oregon.

The facility will be used for the manufacturing molding and millwork products. OrePac is a wholesale supplier of interior and exterior building materials. 

“OrePac has been committed to being the building industry’s most valued partner for more than 45 years,” Brad Hart, president and CEO of OrePac Building Products, said in a statement issued by the company. “We looked at MDF's growing influence in the millwork category and made this investment to meet our customers’ demand for these products.”

OrePac fabricates, assembles, and distributes door and building components at its 10 branches across the western United States.

This project is the company’s first major greenfield investment into a manufacturing capacity for the western U.S.-based supplier. 

As part of the deal, OrePac will establish Pacific Manufacturing and Logistics, a wholly-owned subsidiary, to operate and manage the facility. 

The company anticipates that the new plant will open sometime in early 2024 and will employ up to 50 people.

The project is squarely located within the OrePac footprint on the I-5 corridor and is ideally situated to benefit the company and its supplier partners by vertically integrating its supply chain, the company said. 

OrePac is based in Wilsonville, Oregon, and was founded by the Hart family in 1977.
