“We look forward to this move and see it as a great opportunity to expand in the industrial market with softwood and remanufacturing capacity,” Frampton said.

“We are looking forward to new opportunities to grow in the industrial hardwood market from SLC's previous successes," Great Northern president Jeff Currier said.
