Affiliates of The Lyme Timber Company LP make a significant minority investment in the Emporium Hardwoods sawmill in Emporium, Pennsylvania

In December 2018, affiliates of The Lyme Timber Company LP made a significant minority investment in the Emporium Hardwoods sawmill in Emporium, Pennsylvania. The original Emporium Hardwoods sawmill was destroyed in a fire in the winter of 2016. The owner, Ted Rossi, President & CEO of the Rossi Group, chose to rebuild with state-of-the-art design and technology, creating a high-production, nationally acclaimed mill in the heart of our land base. Historically, the mill procured timber from the lands we now own, and now Emporium Hardwoods is a customer for logs from our approximately 67,500-acre timberland ownership in the region. During the rebuild, mill employees remained on staff and participated in the construction of the mill, and today, the mill employs approximately 100 people.
