History
[edit]Founded in 1977, Oregon-Canadian Forest Products began as a wholesale operation with three employees. In 2004, Oregon-Canadian Forest Products donated funding and materials to construct a new 2,500 square foot library for the city of North Plains.[4] By 2008, the company had grown to 150 employees across three facilities with annual revenues of $63 million, but had shrunk back to 100 employees by late 2009.[5] In 2011, Oregon-Canadian donated material to the North Plains Senior Center.[6]
