Collum’s Lumber Products expanding operations in Allendale County, SC

Collum’s Lumber Products, LLC, a producer of dimensional lumber and other wood products, today announced the expansion of its Allendale County manufacturing operations. Creating 10 new jobs, the company is investing $2 million to construct a new warehousing facility on the site of its existing state-of-the-art sawmill operation.

“We are pleased to be able to expand our company’s operations here in Allendale to better serve our current and future customers. Innovation is key to our success in offering the best quality product at competitive prices, and the new warehouse operation will allow us to operate at peak efficiency,” said Collum’s Lumber Products President Micky Scott.

A fourth-generation, family-owned business founded in the 1930s, Collum’s Lumber Products, LLC has become a leading competitor in the Southern Yellow Pine regional lumber market. The company has expanded over the years, developing one of the most modern sawmills and planer operations in the Southeast. Along with dimensional lumber, Collum’s Lumber Products produces treated wood, poles, wood chips, biomass and remanufactured components.

Located at 1723 Barnwell Road, the company’s existing Allendale, S.C. sawmill facility is optimized to ensure efficiency in the utilization of its resources. With an output of up to 200 million board-feet per year, the operation currently consists of five dry kilns and a state-of-the-art planer facility that uses an autograder to ensure on-grade lumber. Earlier this year, the company also installed a 924-kilowatt solar installation onsite.

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development awarded a $100,000 Rural Infrastructure Grant to Allendale County to assist with the costs of site preparation.
