WILSONVILLE
Traeger Pellet
Grills, the largest grill manufacturer west of the
Mississippi, is opening a new facility in Wilsonville and
officials expect production to begin as early as this month.
The company just finished its 20th year of designing and
manufacturing wood pellet grills, which are sold nationwide as
well as overseas. Traeger has over 100 employees and Bruce
Bjorkman, marketing director for the company, says he hopes
that many of its employees will relocate with the company to
Wilsonville. “It is impossible to predict how many, if
any, additional positions will need to be filled prior to our
move,” he added. Although the new facility will house
manufacturing, accounting and administration, the existing
Silverton office will remain the sales and marketing
headquarters and the commercial grill production line will
continue to operate in Mt. Angel.
