Patrick Lumber Hosts Successful Open House at Timber Hall

Patrick Lumber Co. proudly welcomed 170 guests to its annual St. Patrick’s Day Open House on Friday, March 15, at their Philomath headquarters building “Timber Hall” located inside Patrick Lumber Manufacturing. The event celebrated the company’s rich heritage in the heart of Oregon’s lumber industry, offering a blend of Irish-themed festivities and insights into secondary lumber manufacturing.

The Timber Hall, a timber framed structure, perched atop a picturesque hill overlooking Patrick Lumber Co.’s 40-acre facility, served as the perfect backdrop for this year’s celebration. Simply decorated to highlight the natural wood used throughout the building, the venue radiated the festive spirit of St. Patrick’s Day, while the surprisingly warm weather created an inviting atmosphere for guests to enjoy.

The highlight of the event was the guided mill tours, offering visitors a firsthand look at Patrick Lumber Manufacturing and the process of transforming raw timber into high-quality lumber products.

In addition to showcasing its existing facilities, guests were also invited to tour the new hardwood mill, for which the company recently secured a $1,000,000 grant. This soon-to-be expanded facility aims to be the only commercial sized hardwood mill in Oregon that isn’t primarily cutting Alder.

Chelsea Zuccato, East Coast Sales Manager at Patrick Lumber Co., expressed her enthusiasm for the event, stating, “Our first St. Patrick’s Day open house at our Philomath headquarters was historic. We hosted valued agents and bankers, suppliers, customers, and vendors—in the past, the event has been offsite and in our downtown Portland office. It makes sense that we shifted the event to Philomath to our new headquarters building. We’re excited to continue this tradition at Timber Hall surrounded by the lumber we sell every day, with the people who make it possible!”

Mark Gray, West Coast Sales Manager, echoed the sentiment, remarking, “The St. Patrick’s Day Open House at Timber Hall was a big success. It was a pleasure to see our industry partners come together to celebrate our shared commitment to excellence.”

Patrick Lumber Co. remains dedicated to fostering strong relationships within the lumber industry and beyond. While the event was held at the Philomath headquarters this year, the company continues to maintain a satellite office in Portland, ensuring accessibility for its valued partners.
