Binderholz Enfield LLC held a grand opening ceremony on April 6 to commemorate the official opening of its lumber production facility near Enfield in Halifax County,  North Carolina.

Company, local community, and elected officials participated in the event alongside Binderholz’s corporate leadership from Austria.  The Enfield facility will produce southern yellow pine lumber used in residential and commercial construction. At full production, the plant will have an output capacity of over 200 million board feet.

In January 2021, Binderholz officially acquired the assets of Klausner Lumber, which included production mills in Live Oak, Florida and Enfield, NC. Despite a pandemic and lingering supply chain issues, Binderholz was able to upgrade the Enfield manufacturing plant to its standards and meet state and local permitting requirements.

“We appreciate the support from Halifax County and the Enfield community during very challenging times,” said Matteo Binder of Binderholz. “We have worked hard to get the facility operational and now we must shift our focus to getting employees to achieve full production.”

The Enfield, NC production facility will further strengthen Binderholz’s presence in the US market. The Binderholz Enfield plant is forecast to have 120 full-time employees by 2024. This hiring process will continue until the lumber mill reaches full production capacity.
