Klausner Lumber Two LLC in Enfield has been purchased.
The plant, located at 260 Piper Lane, abruptly shut down in March, along with its sister facility in Live Oak, Florida, its first U.S. facility which opened in 2013 â with little explanation from Klausner officials to employees and county officials.
An auction took place on Thursday, with virtual attendance limited to interested parties due to COVID-19, resulting in a winning bid from binderholz Group, headquartered in Fügen, Austria.
Binderholzâ final offer for the purchased assets was $83.4M in cash, plus those assumed liabilities, including the Halifax County Deferred Obligation in the maximum amount of $3,287,500. The offer was a win over another bidder, Mayr Melnhof Holz, headquartered in Leoben, Austria. Binderholz also has purchased the facility in Live Oak.
