A group of US hardwood manufacturers have joined forces to create “one of the leading hardwood platforms” in America.
Rossi American Hardwoods, Hardwood Lumber Manufacturing, Blue Triangle Hardwoods, Graham Lumber, Emporium Hardwoods, Northern Hardwoods and Cross Creek Sales have merged to form American Hardwood Industries, with further acquisitions planned for the future.
The combined company will have a staff force in excess of 500 and a production capacity of 350,000m³ of sawn hardwood lumber a year, focused on the east coast.
“[We] are committed to maintaining the same high standards of quality and service, which for years have been the trademark of our platform companies,” said American Hardwood Industries chairman and chief executive officer Ted Rossi.
“As we look to the future we will be keenly focused on continuing our growth through well planned strategic acquisitions.”
Mr Rossi added that American Hardwood Industries would continue to “value the strong relationships” its component companies have formed with customers and suppliers worldwide.
