Canfor shuts down Darlington and Estill sawmills amid market challenges

Posted on June 27, 2025   |  

Canfor announced to permanently close its Estill and Darlington sawmills in South Carolina by August 2025 due to ongoing weak market conditions and financial losses.

The closures will impact around 290 employees, marking a significant workforce reduction.

Canfor’s U.S. lumber production capacity will shrink by 350 million board feet annually as a result of the shutdowns.

The company stated that continued operations at these facilities were no longer financially sustainable.
