Canfor's Chetwynd Planer Modernization Cuts Workforce
Canfor in Chetwynd reports a $2 million planer upgrade that automates stacking and bundling. Plant Manager Ray Sandnes notes output varies by lumber size with a 2x10 average of about 500 thousand feet per shift. The shift headcount drops from 18 to 15 workers as automation improves speed and ease of operation. Burt McGraw calls this the first step in modernization and confirms operations are running smoothly.
