The History of Far West Fibers

The History of Far West Fibers: "Far West Fibers (FWF) was founded in January, 1980 by Tom Lindbloom, president of Conifer Douglas Logging in Roseburg, Oregon and Ron Frashour, former plant manager for Independent Paper Stock.� The first facility of FWF was located in Beaverton.� In the first month of operation, FWF sold a combined 100 tons of Old Corrugated Containers (OCC) to Willamette Industries, Albany (now International Paper), and Old Newsprint (ONP) to Publishers Paper, Oregon City (now Blue Heron).

In February 1982, with financial assistance from Willamette Industries, FWF purchased E-Z Recycling which was located on Swan Island in Portland, Oregon. E-Z Recycling was the recycling division of Fred Meyer."
