Nordic Veneer announces closure after 72 years of operation

ROSEBURG, Ore., Nordic Veneer Inc., a four-generation, family-owned wood products manufacturer based in Roseburg, Oregon, announced it will cease production at its facility in Roseburg after 72 years. The company, founded in 1954 by Dick Adams and Norm Jacobsen, purchased the Perkins veneer plant in Dixonville in 1960 and has since operated under the stewardship of the Adams family across four generations. It has been a vital local employer, producing high-quality veneer and contributing to the regional wood products economy.

In April 2026, the company announced a shift cut that affected 25 workers; the remaining 28 workers will be let go after the doors close permanently. The company will work closely with its dedicated team of employees to provide transition support, and is actively working with employees on job placement resources. 

“After careful and difficult consideration, we have made the decision to close our operations,” said Art Adams, owner of Nordic Veneer. “Our industry has faced sustained wood supply and market challenges, structural realignment, and foreign competition. Despite our team’s hard work, recent investments in efficiency, and deep commitment to this business, sustaining operations is no longer viable under current market conditions.”

In a social media post, Nordic Veneer extended its sincere gratitude to its employees, many of whom have been part of the “family-oriented” culture for decades, as well as to its suppliers, customers, and the broader Roseburg and Douglas County community for their partnership over more than seven decades.  

“We would like to thank our dedicated employees over the last 72 years, the community who has stood beside us every step of the way, and most of all the Creator of it all, who sustained our business and family and blessed us beyond anything we could have imagined. To God be the glory.”
