Why cable sits here 02
The DeRidder industrial base
Packaging Corporation of America operates the DeRidder containerboard mill on Highway 190 West, Canfor runs a greenfield southern pine sawmill nearby, and Ingevity produces performance chemicals from pine-derived raw materials in the city. Beauregard Parish lists PCA among its largest employers.
That gives DeRidder a mill cable profile: medium voltage distribution, tray and control cable, instrument cable, heat trace and welding lead, plus the motor and drive cable that a sawmill and a paper mill both use heavily.
Containerboard mill
Packaging Corporation of America operates the DeRidder containerboard mill at 4200 Highway 190 West, one of Beauregard Parish's largest employers.
Sawmill
Canfor's DeRidder sawmill runs a second shift and targets 250 million board feet annually.
Pine chemicals
Ingevity operates a DeRidder plant producing performance chemicals from pine-derived raw materials.

Questions —
DeRidder wire buying questions
Do you buy mill cable from DeRidder?
Yes, with the mill's release. Paper mill stores are usually recorded, which makes the review accurate.
Is sawmill material different?
Sawmill cable is mostly motor and drive cable, with less instrumentation. It is read on size, flex rating where it applies, and condition.
How does freight work without an interstate?
On U.S. 171 and U.S. 190. It is workable, but long reels need a planned route rather than an improvised one.
Is DeRidder part of the Lake Charles route?
It can be, though it is an hour north. It is usually scheduled as its own run or combined with a Beauregard and Vernon parish collection.
