Simpson Redwood Steps Up Morketing Progrom With Plont Exponsions

Simpson Redwood Company has expanded by 30/o the remanufacturing capacity of its plants at Arcata and Korbel, California, to provide faster handling of redwood orders and to insure continuing high quality of the firm's redwood products. The expansion of facilities is in line with Simpson's increased advertising, promotion, and redwood marketing programs. Completion is scheduled for April.

Gordon J. Manary, vice-president and general manager, said the expansion will give the company more flexibility in its production facilities and will enable it to operate at maximum efficiency under varying market conditions.

Additions include a dry storage building at Arcata containing 64,000 square feet, and a similar installation at Korbel of 119,000 square feet. An additional planer opera- tion is being installed at Arcata, and the existing Korbel planing mill will be modern-ized.

According to Manary, these additions are designed to improve the processing and handling of redwood under cover, plus providing equipment which will increase the quality of the redwood output. One step will be installation df smboth end-trimming ind end-bra?rding machinery at the Korbel plant.

Both projects, when completed, will add a four million board feet of dry storage area to wood Company's facilities.
