Market Growth, Economic Stimulus In April 2017, ARAUCO conducted groundbreaking ceremonies in Grayling, Michigan, marking the official start of the construction phase for what will become the most modern particleboard plant in North America, and the largest of its kind globally. Slated for completion in late 2018, the plant will feature North America’s largest single continuous particleboard press (170 ft.) and will be one of the most productive in the world. The plant location will improve the logistics of the entire chain of production, and support anticipated customer growth in the Midwest.
