Hancock Lumber announced the company has begun the process to consolidate one of its 11 locations.
“Effective Oct. 1, Hancock Lumber began the indefinite curtailment of production at the company’s Madison location and began the consolidation of that business into its Casco, Bethel, and Pittsfield mill operations.
The Madison log yard will remain open to help support the procurement of eastern white pine. This decision is in response to site-specific challenges and changing market conditions.
Hancock Lumber’s goal now is to focus on helping impacted employees and provide one-on-one support and resources for each person during this transition, including transfer employment offers and competitive severance packages. Hancock Lumber remains committed to the forest products industry as it has since 1848.”
The company has locations across Maine and New Hampshire.
