Weyerhaeuser Co. of Federal Way, Wash., signed an agreement last week to purchase a sawmill in Lewiston, Mich., from Export Corp. of Brighton, Mich.

The sawmill is located on a 16-acre site 35 miles northeast of Grayling, Mich., where Weyerhaeuser operates an oriented strand board facility.

Also, Northwest Hardwoods, a division of Weyerhaeuser, is acquiring Lewiston Forest Products Co. in Lewiston, Mich., for an undisclosed price.
