Local mills can often compete successfully with those of large companies because they can efficiently serve a local market. However, there are big economies of scale in sawmill operations. Large mills can have annual revenue per employee of close to $300,000, while small mills may achieve only half as much. Sawmills can operate with only a modest investment of capital but plywood mills require expensive equipment and therefore are usually large plants with high annual volume that service a wide geographical area.
