Roseburg Forest Products Announces Manufacturing Leadership Promotions

Roseburg Forest Products announced that company veterans Matt Holt and Alexandre Ouellette will assume new, expanded manufacturing leadership roles with the departure of Chief Operations Officer Tony Hamill.

“Promoting Matt and Alexandre acknowledges their expanding influence directing a manufacturing transformation underway at Roseburg that is generating performance and product quality gains benefitting our business and our customers,’’ said Roseburg President and CEO Stuart Gray. “Matt and Alexandre embody both the values and expertise that power our winning performance culture across North America.”

As Vice President of Manufacturing and Services, Holt will now be responsible for Roseburg’s structural operations, veneer and wood fiber procurement, and manufacturing services. Since joining Roseburg in 2020, Holt has served in multiple plant and division leadership roles across the company’s manufacturing business. He most recently served as Senior Director of Manufacturing.

Ouellette, in his new role as Vice President of Manufacturing and Engineering, will oversee Roseburg’s composite operations, power generation operations and engineering. Ouellette joined Roseburg as plant manager for Pembroke MDF in Ontario, Canada, in 2018. He has played key roles in driving improved collaboration across Roseburg’s composite mills and overseeing the startup of Dillard Components.

Hamill, who has served as Chief Operations Officer since September 2024, is leaving Roseburg for a new opportunity.

“I thank Tony for his many contributions, including advancing Roseburg’s manufacturing structure, adding operational efficiencies and mentoring leaders who will extend the positive momentum here that he helped engineer,” Gray said.  “We wish him well and continued success in this next chapter of his career.”
