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.

So sad. Rip Bob
Good write up. I miss the guy.
Very nice story/obit
I remember Bob...R.I.P.
Damn, better places sir
Bob was a wealth of information not only at work but on his own time. There wasn't much of anything he couldn't fix. Bob loved Life, his family, cars, motorcycles, classic rock. RIP Brother.
😭 So sorry to hear! I remember loading Bob with veneer many times in the 80’s. He was always business “GET IT LOADED & LOADED RIGHT THE FIRST TIME! DON’T WASTE MY TIME!” He was a top notch guy & a great asset to FLC.
Blessed to have known you Trusty, one of dads best friends ❤ you will be missed!
Bob was a good man! He will be missed!
You will be missed trusty
Thanks for posting...

He was a good guy he will be missed
December plywood markets were atypical from a historical perspective. Typically, December is a month where producers consider extended holiday shutdowns to make repairs and upgrades and begin the New Year with hope for positive markets. Instead, plywood markets went on a rampage through December with order files and prices continually increasing throughout the month. See more about the current market in today's blog post 👇
