2025 MSR Workshop - Plant Tour
Mercer Mass Timber
Spokane Valley, WA
Mercer Mass Timber (MMT), is a is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mercer International, a global provider of renewable materials and energy. MMT produces cross-laminated timber (CLT) and glue-laminated timber (GLT) for the North American market at its three plants in Washington, Arkansas, and British Columbia. Participants in the 2025 MSR Workshop will tour their state-of-art facility in Spokane Valley, WA, which commenced production in August 2021.
The roughly two-hour plant tour generally follows the product’s flow through the factory, starting on the front end of the mill at the transverse high grader and sort bins, making its way through the production flow process, and finishing out at the post-CNC finished CLT panels/quality assurance lab. Attendees will enjoy a look at a variety of robust automation technology throughout the operation as well as one ow the world’s largest CLT presses. The tour may also include a closer look at the modular house demo that was constructed with MMT’s partners at Green Canopy Node.
“Tours have always been an important aspect of the Workshop because it’s beneficial for CMs to tour other types of facilities where they can see the use of automation, labor, and other manufacturing processes they potentially haven’t seen before.”
–George Hamilton, Roseburg Forest Products
“The Workshop puts you in front of the right people in one place to get answers to your questions about MSR, whatever they might be.”
–Ross Harter, Drexel Building Supply
“I gained a lot of knowledge about what customers are doing in truss production, their progression in automation, and how that ties to MSR demand.”
–Andrew Guest, West Fraser
“We appreciate that the Workshop not only provides a venue for us to follow up with people in a focused, informal setting, it also covers a range of topics in a couple of days. It’s a good time to delve into specific topics with the people who are involved in the supply chain from start to finish and gain perspective on MSR and all that goes with it.”
–John Gerlach, North Star Forest Materials
“If you are new to the industry, like I am, the Workshop is a great place to learn. I learned something from every session and got a good foundation in a number of areas, especially about how MSR lumber is being used by component manufacturers.”
–Hunter LeCaire, Wildwood Trading Group
“Lumber is your #1 used item — you need to know what you’re buying and using. The knowledge I gain about the lumber market and the forecast for the coming year is invaluable to my business.”
–Sean Kelly, Automated Building Products
