Gregory Buys Distribution Unit

Gregory Forest Products, a lumber and plywood producer with mills in Glendale, Or.,and Klamath Falls, Or., has purchased Canfor U. S.A. Corporation's product distribution center at Fontana, Ca. (See related story elsewhere on this page).

The distribution center also has a 45,000 sq. ft. remanufacturing plant currently turning out industrial pallets and lattice panels going into the home improvement market. Purchase price of the five-acre yard was not released.

The company retained the Canfor staff and rehiredformer salesman Paul Chambers. Manager Ray MacDonald, along with Wally Turner and Rod Puppolo continue as salesmen. The plant employs about 15 others.

Gregory Forest Products is owned by Bill Gregory, a CPA and former partner with the international accounting firm of Arthur Andersen & Co., in Portland. Or. He entered the wood products business when in l98l he purchased the sawmill, plywood plant and veneer plants held by the Robert Dollar Co.

After coming through the industry recession of the early 1980s, Gregory Forest Products has since become profitable, largely due to a gamble the company took on $4 million worth of capital improvements in 1984. It was also backed by employees who contributed in an unconventional profi t-sharing plan that traded part oftheir wages for what they hoped would be part of the profit pie later on.

John Cole, marketing manager, has been assisting the company through the transition. He said the Fontana plant has dropped the production of trusses, and is making plans to get more heavily involved in manufacturing items for industry and construction.

Competitors in lumber wholesaling wondered if Gregory would market its own Oregon mill products more aggressively in the Southern California area. Manager Ray MacDonald said, however, the plant will mainain its lumber business as Canfor did, selling a variety of manufacturers' products.

lumberman Awads Entire Class

All 25 graduating seniors of the local Glendale, Or., high school will have a chance to continue their educations, thanks to the help of Bill Gregory, owner ofGregory Forest Products Inc.

Gregory said he awarded each Glendale High School graduate a $500 scholarship because he couldn't choose one over another, wanting them all to go on in their schooling.

Few students have that chance in the remote Southern Oregon village where Gregory's mill is the largest business, employing 4fi) of the town's 7fi) people.

"In our community, none of the kids come from wealthy families," Gregory said. "IfI canjust encourage more ofthe students to go out and try they'll be better off and have more opportunities."

Handing out the scholarships at the graduation ceremony, Gregory asked the winners to stand as their names were called. To its surprise, the entire class was soon standing. The bill will come to $12,500 if all students use the awards, good for education expenses at any accredited institution of higher learning.

Gregory also owns facilities in Klamath Falls, Or., and Fontana, Ca.
