WARREN, Ark. — Following its recent merger with PotlatchDeltic, Rayonier announced this week that the combined company will continue operating under the Rayonier name while unveiling a new corporate logo.
The decision comes just weeks after the two companies finalized their “merger of equals,” which officially closed in late January 2026. The deal combined two major timber and wood products companies into one of the largest land and forestry operators in the United States.
In a press release issued March 31, company leadership said they evaluated multiple options for a new corporate identity but ultimately chose to keep the Rayonier name.
Company officials said retaining the name allows the organization to build on Rayonier’s long-standing brand recognition while avoiding confusion and added costs that could come with a complete rebrand.
At the same time, the company introduced a refreshed logo meant to reflect what leaders described as a “new era” following the merger.
Rayonier also confirmed that its stock will continue trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol “RYN,” signaling continuity for investors despite the significant structural changes brought by the merger.
The merger itself brought together extensive timberland holdings and manufacturing operations across the United States. The combined company now manages more than four million acres of timberland and operates multiple wood products facilities, strengthening its position in both forestry and lumber production.
For communities like Warren, where a PotlatchDeltic facility has long been a part of the local economy, the announcement represents another step in the transition to the newly combined company. While the corporate name is remaining the same, the new branding signals the integration of operations and a unified direction moving forward.
No local operational changes were included in the announcement.
