Huber Engineered Woods LLC (HEW) announced that it has plans to build a new oriented strand board (OSB) facility in Noxubee County, Mississippi. The plant will increase the company’s production of innovative ZIP System and AdvanTech structural panels. The manufacturing facility is projected to provide over 150 direct new jobs to Noxubee County and surrounding areas, while providing a sustainable solution to utilize abundant smaller diameter timber in the region – benefiting landowners, businesses and residents.

The Shuqualak location, Mississippi, will be HEW’s sixth mill in the United States. The new mill will expand HEW’s current production footprint, which is comprised of five facilities located in Georgia, Maine, Tennessee, Oklahoma and Virginia. HEW’s manufacturing operations support the growing needs of single-family, multi-family and commercial builders along with select industrial materials markets. Product distribution is supported through a nationwide network of leading building products dealers and distributors.

The new facility will produce HEW’s premium panel products that have revolutionized the way homes and multi-family projects achieve air and water management in roof, wall and subfloor assemblies. It will be located on approximately 550 acres and will feature some of the most advanced processes and technologies available for manufacturing operations. The facility will be designed to minimize its environmental footprint, maximize energy and water efficiency and optimize the utilization and yield of raw material inputs. Initiation of project construction is pending various federal, state and local permits as well as economic development incentive approvals and/or processes.

Huber Engineered Woods LLC, a subsidiary of J.M. Huber Corporation, is a specialty building products manufacturer. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, the company has manufacturing facilities in Maine, Georgia, Virginia, Tennessee and Oklahoma, and dedicated R&D facilities in Commerce, Georgia.
