SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Potlatch Corp. says it has sold its particleboard plant in Post Falls, Idaho, to a former sawmill operator.
The sale to Todd Brinkmeyer closed on March 12. The purchase price was not disclosed.
Potlatch spokesman Mark Benson says the small-scale plant no longer fit into Potlatch’s core mission, which is tied to forestlands and lumber production.
He says the company owns 840,000 acres of forestland in Idaho, and operates a lumber mill and plywood plant in St. Maries.
Brinkmeyer could not be reached for comment Monday. He is the former owner of a sawmill in Plummer that specialized in processing small-diameter logs. Brinkmeyer sold that sawmill in 2006.
