KEEP PIONEERING

In 1869 a swing of the hammer drove in the golden spike that united the railroads forever connecting the commerce and economies of the North American continent. Similarly, in 2015 Industrial Timber and Lumber Company (ITL) and Northwest Hardwoods drove a golden spike of their own officially uniting leading lumber suppliers of both east and west forming a national operation with a global reach – from tree to shining tree.

Founded in Portland, OR in 1967, our operations started out as one Alder mill: Northwest Hardwoods. But, don’t let our name fool you – our hardwood operations have grown to include over 30 facilities across North America, producing 14 species of domestic hardwoods. We offer appearance and structural plywood, as well as over 25 species of exotic hardwoods.

Our purchase of ITL significantly increased our footprint in the Appalachian hardwoods market and drove us to become the largest manufacturer and supplier of hardwood from coast to coast.

We’ve kept the name as a symbol of the commitment to innovation that started there and helped our company grow into a top global supplier of hardwood.
