right The Simpson Investment Company is a Pacific Northwest-based company that specializes in production and manufacture of forest products. Originally founded as a logging company in 1890 by Sol Simpson, the company currently functions as a holding company for its two subsidiaries who deal with different sectors in the forestry industry.〔 They are ''Simpson Lumber Company'', and the ''Simpson Door Company''. The Simpson Lumber Company conducts logging operations in Shelton, Washington while the Simpson Door Company manufactures wood doors. The Simpson Tacoma Kraft Company produces pulpwood and linerboard products.〔 〕 Simpson announced in 2008 that they will be entering the "green power" industry by building a new power plant at its Tacoma Tideflats mill that will generate power via the burning of sawmill and other forest waste. In August 2009, construction of the power plant was complete and it currently generates 55 megawatts of power which is sold to Iberdrola Renovables and used by the Sacramento Municipal Utility District. The "Simpson Tacoma Kraft Company", was sold to RockTenn in 2014 〔 〕〔 〕 ==Divisions== The company was split into two separate units in 2006. The Green Diamond Resource Company is a spinoff that was created to manage Simpson's forest lands. Both companies are owned by the same shareholders and as with the current subsidiaries, function as separate departments within a large company rather than as completely independent companies.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Simpson Investment Company」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
