LP Building Solutions announced it will indefinitely curtail oriented strand board production at its Jasper, Texas facility starting in October 2026 due to soft demand. The facility has an annual capacity of approximately 475 million square feet on a 3/8-inch basis. The decision follows a review of production needs across LP's network, considering operating costs, capital requirements, logistics, and long-term asset utilization. CEO Jason Ringblom stated that aligning production with demand is necessary for efficient operation through the cycle, while maintaining flexibility to restart capacity when conditions improve. LP will provide job search and career transition support to affected employees.
