Press Release

October 12, 2018

INTERFOR CORPORATION (“Interfor” or the “Company”) (TSX: IFP) today announced plans to temporarily reduce production across its operating platform in the BC Interior in Q4’18 due to a combination of declining lumber prices and escalating log costs. The curtailment is expected to reduce production in the region by approximately 20% during the quarter and will be taken by way of reduced operating days and extended weekends/holiday breaks.

Interfor has three sawmills in the BC Interior, with total annual capacity of approximately 750 million board feet.
