The Ringgold plant treats 34 million board feet per year. In 1989, we purchased a second pressure-treatment plant in Vincennes, Indiana. The Vincennes location is a treating facility only, producing approximately 16 million board feet per year. Today, the lumber mill at Ringgold produces 15 million board feet per year. The mill includes a sorter, stacker, planer, dry kiln, resaw and treatment plant.
Sawmills deliver rough lumber of varying lengths.
At our Ringgold facility, the lumber is sorted, stacked, dressed and packed in bundles. The lumber is then pressure-treated and shipped to hardware stores and lumber yards. Waste from trimmings is ground into shavings in the new wood hog and sold for bedding in chicken houses and barns. Our service area includes Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri and Ohio. Some of our lumber even travels as far as New York.
