Structurlam Mass Timber Corp., a Canadian mass timber manufacturer, announced Wednesday (Jan. 18) it is temporarily suspending operations and reducing staff at its 288,000-square-foot Arkansas plant in Conway due to a customer contract cancellation with Bentonville-based Walmart Inc. In a news release, the company did not inititally name the customer. In response to a question from Talk Business & Politics, a spokesman confirmed that Walmart canceled the lucrative contract. In December 2019, Structurlam announced a $90 million investment in the Conway facility largely to support one project — the construction of the new Walmart corporate campus in Bentonville, which was first announced in 2017.
