<p>/PRNewswire/ - West Fraser Timber Co. Ltd.（&#34;West Fraser&#34;或&#34;公司&#34;）（TSX 和 NYSE：WFG）今天宣布，将于 2026 年春季无限期停产位于阿尔伯塔省 High Level 的定向刨花板（OSB）工厂，停产将遵循有序的关闭程序，并消耗工厂现有的木材供应。</p>
<p>今天的决定是由于 OSB 需求显著减弱，预计将使 West Fraser 的产能减少 8.6 亿平方英尺（3/8 英寸）。West Fraser 预计将通过在其他公司运营中提供工作机会来减轻对约 190 名受影响员工的影响，具体取决于可用性。</p>

<p>West Fraser 在北美的 OSB 产品最主要的用途包括住宅建筑（护墙板、底板、屋顶甲板等）、维修和改造以及工业应用。High Level 工厂自 2021 年收购 OSB 业务以来，一直是 West Fraser 的一部分。</p>
<p>West Fraser 预计将在 2025 年第四季度记录约 2 亿美元的资产减值损失，原因是 High Level OSB 工厂的无限期停产。</p>
