11/04/2024
Lumber producer Sierra Pacific Industries established manufacturing operations in Phenix City, Alabama. The $60 million project is expected to create 300 jobs in Russell County.

The 610,000-square-foot facility will serve as a hub for the company’s operations in the Southeastern U.S.

“We’re very excited to be here. We love Alabama,” said Sierra Pacific Industries CEO Mark Emmerson. “This is a significant milestone for Sierra Pacific, for the Phenix City Community and also for the State of Alabama. I’m so proud of our team. What they’ve done with this facility is incredible.”

Sierra Pacific Industries, one of the largest U.S. lumber and millwork producers, owns and sustainably manages over 2.4 million acres of timberland in California, Oregon and Washington. The company manufactures windows and generates renewable biomass energy.

“Sierra Pacific’s decision to establish its new manufacturing operations in Phenix City is a powerful win for the region and a testament to the potential of Alabama’s rural communities,” noted Brenda Tuck, Rural Development Manager at the Alabama Department of Commerce. “This project demonstrates how world-class companies can thrive in rural Alabama, and it underscores our ongoing commitment to supporting their growth. We look forward to the lasting impact this investment will have on the local workforce and economy.”
