Robbins Lumber Resumes Operations Following Fire

Following an explosion and fire May 15, officials with Robbins Lumber announced company operations have resumed.

"We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to our customers, industry partners, friends, neighbors, and the entire lumber community for the incredible support, encouragement, and prayers we have received over the past several days. The kindness shown to our company and employees during this difficult time has been overwhelming and deeply appreciated.

We are pleased to share that Robbins Lumber resumed full mill operations and began processing orders again on May 26. Thanks to the extraordinary efforts of our employees and partners, we have worked quickly to restore operations safely and efficiently.

Our coatings facility, located just five miles away, was not impacted and continues normal operations. We are also utilizing our Sanford, ME location for warehousing, while our East Baldwin mill has stepped up production efforts to support customer order needs. In addition, we have constructed a temporary warehouse on site to further support shipping and operational continuity.

We remain committed to providing the quality products and dependable service our customers have come to expect. We are fully operational, ready for your orders, and look forward to continuing to meet your Eastern White Pine needs.

Jim, Alden, and Lily continue to receive excellent care at Massachusetts General Hospital. We remain hopeful and encouraged by their progress and look forward to welcoming them back when they are able. We also continue to hold all those recovering and affected by this tragedy in our hearts and thoughts each day.

The strength, resilience, and compassion shown by our employees, families, customers, and community have been extraordinary. Thank you for standing with Robbins Lumber.

With gratitude,

Catherine Robbins-Halsted"
