Solder Timber highlighted in county business spotlight video; company showcases mass‑timber fabrication in Estacada
Summary
A Clackamas County business‑spotlight video presented Solder Timber's CLT and mass‑timber fabrication process, noted local advantages for siting in Estacada and detailed machine capabilities and production plans.
Clackamas County opened the forum with a business‑spotlight video featuring Solder Timber, a firm that described its work in precision pre‑cut and mass‑timber fabrication and the advantages of locating fabrication in Estacada.
The video described cross‑laminated timber (CLT) fabrication, explained the company’s CNC and panel‑processing equipment and said the facility is designed around a six‑sided panel machine that speeds production and can process large CLT panels. The narrator said that, at full speed, the facility expects to produce the equivalent of about four truckloads a day.
Narration in the video also referenced site advantages in Estacada — permitting and land availability — and noted that the company and county economic development team worked together and that the enterprise zone program played a role in locating manufacturing activity locally.
The county presented the video as part of an economic development highlight and to illustrate private‑sector investments that dovetail with local workforce and building material markets.
