Peeling Mill Planned For Big lsland

After a six-year delay, Oregon-based Tradewinds LLC has secured $1 million in startup funding for a new peeling mill to be built on the Hamakua coast of Hilo, Hi.

The mill will employ 100 and process timber from the Waiakea Timber Management area, which consists of nearly 12,000 acres of eucalyptus and other non-native trees planted in the 1960s. After the veneer sheets are dried, they will be sent to a plywood mill on the mainland.

Tradewinds' original deal with the Board of Land & Natural Resources called for the firm to build a plywood plant in Hawaii. Because the company decided against this, the board revoked permission to log Australian red cedar stands that represented aboutJVo of the original agreement. This valuable timber will be offered through public bidding to companies who agree to process it in Hawaii.

Tradewinds will also have to pay the state 990,000 for extending the deadline for construction of the peeling mill, to July 2008. "We have agreed to all the tems and conditions submittted," Tradewinds president Don Bryan said of the compromise.

New Lignum Opens To Serve U.S.

Lignum Forest Products LLP has opened for business with an office in Vanvouver, B.C.. that focuses on marketing and distributing lumber products to the U.S. construction industry, in partnership with Pope & Talbot, Portland, Or.. and other producers.

"We manage inventories on behalf of builders who are more interested in continuity of supply and reliability of service than worrying about the exact price they are required to pay every day," said managing partner Jake

Kerr, former chairman and c.e.o. of Lignum Ltd.

Last year, the family-owned Lignum Ltd. was purchased by Riverside Forest Products, which was then acquired in a hostile takeover by Tolko lndustries Ltd., enabling Kerr to tender his Riverside shares for $25 million. A 3O-year veteran of the lumber industry, Kerr is known as the architect of a 1996 trade agreement that restricted annual Canadian softwood shipments inro the U.S. to 14.7 billion bd. ft. under a five-year quota deal that expired in April 2001.

The new office started with l0 traders and staff support-many of whom worked for the old company-and hopes to double in size within a year. "We intend to quickly re-establish our reputation for supplying high-quality products, on-time delivery, and complete customer satisfaction," said Kerr.

Other partners in the firm are Craig Stuart, Ian Leask and Chuck Murdoch, who will be responsible for lumber marketing, and John Thomas, c.o.o./c.f.o.

Progressive Solutions Inc. supplied its bisTrack software, which will be integrated with Microsoft's Great Plains software for full financial manasement.
