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.

This Thanksgiving we are grateful for the fire sparing our mills, which helped keep the economic engine of the Santiam Canyon intact. We're thankful that more than half our lands were untouched, that we're still strong and our plants are up-to-date. And we're thankful our family has escaped illness from Covid. What are you gratfeul for this year?
Unreal how much was destroyed😢 Grateful, our little area was spared ❤️ from the fire. Thank you!
I am so grateful that Freres has kept me and so many others happily employed for so many years

In all the pain and suffering the canyon will and always survive. Built and sustained by the pioneer spirit it was founded. Thanksgiving to all.
I'm thankful for my lovely wife and the great opportunities that freres has gave me and for the opportunity to Excel in the company

We are also grateful to be spared.
Thankful for my job and that Freres was able to keep us working all year, minus the fire evacuation time. Thankful for my family remaining healthy as well.
