John Godfrey of Godfrey Forest Products, based in Marblehead, Massachusetts, announced at a news conference Friday that he plans to manufacture oriented strand board, similar to particleboard, and bring about 125 jobs to the site of the former Androscoggin Mill. The town will once again be a mill town. Pixelle Specialty Solutions stopped making paper products as of March 9, 2023. It is a highly logical site, Godfrey said. There are plenty of trees in the area, including Eastern white pine used in particleboard and other building materials.
