We specialize in creating the highest quality products across the wood products spectrum from raw log to finished products.
The vast majority of the veneer that we manufacture is made from Douglas Fir due to the high quality of the species’ wood fiber.
Freres Lumber Co., has been the industry leader in the production of high-quality sheathing and touch sanded plywood panels since 1998.
Our primary lumber products are variations of 2×3 through 4×6 dimensions in softwood species such as Douglas Fir or Hemlock.
We employ nearly 500 individuals in the North Santiam Canyon (the communities of Lyons and Mill City, Oregon). Job opportunities exist in our veneer manufacturing operations, a stud mill, our cogeneration facility, trucking, and in our forestry and road building departments.
We are dedicated to attracting, developing, and retaining a diverse workforce of people from all walks of life, backgrounds, and cultures. We believe in promotion from within and always look internally before recruiting externally.
MPP is a massive, large scale, structural composite lumber based panel designed as an alternative to Cross Laminated Timbers (CLT). CLT products have been used in Europe for decades as a substitute for concrete construction, and have recently been used in multi-story construction in the United States.

Great shot of Byron in our 21 truck dumping the first load of donated chips for Camp Taloali. The chips are used on trails, other areas of the camp, and on the disc golf course. 👍

Comment on Facebook Great shot of Byron ...
Thank you so much for your generosity and continued support of Camp Taloali. It's wonderful having community partners like Freres Lumber as part of our camp family.
You are looking good Byron! Kudos to FLC for your donation! I miss that distinct odor of wood chips.
The guy with the camera had a fantastic angle. Perfect placement of the driverside mirror lol. Great people at that camp doing great work. Was a fantastic gesture of the company to donate the chips.
I was the one that took the picture, guess it did block drivers face. Thank you Freres Lumber for the very generous donation. It was a pleasure to work with the driver and the great job done getting piles dumped in couple locations on course for me to work with
Thank you!
Lookin' good Son!
