Plywood Plants to Be Consolidated
Portland, Ore.-Plants of the Oregon-Washington plywood Corp., Tacoma, Wash., and the Nicolai plywood Co.. Garibaldi, Ore., will be consolidated at the Oregon site.
Directors of the Oregon-Washington Corp. made the decision due to lack of logs in the Tacoma area. Harry T. Nicolai, Portland, president of both firms, said the high cost of transporting logs to Tacoma from Oregon put that plant in a poor competitive position.
The Tacoma plant, first opened in 1926, had a 4 milliorr square foot monthly capacity. The Garibaldi plant has 3 million feet. It was opened several years ago. When combined, he said, the plant "will exceed five million monthly."
Mr. Nicolai said the consolidation, effective Aug. 1, wiil be completed in 90 days. The consolidated firm will be known as the Oregon-Washington Plywood Corp.
Dennis N. Slenning, who was in charge of the Tacoma plant, has been appointed vice president in charge of sales and will retain the general sales office in Tacoma. Theodore Nicolai, manager of the Garibaldi plant, has been made vice president in charge of productio4. W. W. Wilkinson, Los Angeles, is California representative.
