Our Products and Services. We sell decorative surfaces and composite panels, hardwood plywood, high-grade hardwood lumber, and other architectural building products to industrial manufacturing customers across North America. Core to our product philosophy is the protection of the environment. We embody this by manufacturing or distributing only wood products made from legally harvested forests and meeting and or exceeding industry and government regulatory guidelines.
