L.P Consolidates Divisions

Louisiana-Pacific Corp. has consolidated two of ie California divisionsthe Ukiah division based in Mendocino County and the Samoa division based in Humboldt County, near Eureka, Ca.

Headquarters for the new divisioncalled the Coastal division of L-P-will be at Samoa, Ca., and all accounting, purchasing, sales and other administrative functions will be consolidated at that location. All the plants, mills and distribution centers from both divisions will continue to operate normally.

Harry A. Merlo, chairman and president of Louisiana-Pacific, said the merger will improve the strength, efficiency and profitability of the operations of both divisions.

"Both of these divisions have been forced to permanently close several plants and mills in rqcent years because of the loss of L-P timberland taken to expand Redwood National Park and the shrinking supply of timber from National Forests. The reduced size of these two divisions make this consotdation a necessary step," Merlo said.

Phil E. Nell will serve as manager of the merged division with Lowell D. Ambrosini assisting him in all functions.

The Coastal Division will have 340,000 acres of timberland and operate a pulp mill, a particleboard plant, nine sawmills, two millwork and remanufacturing operations, three distribution centers, a treating plant, a trucking department and export facilities for pulp, chips and lumber. Combined sales in 1980 of the Coastal Division operations were $250 million.
