More Consolidation in the Lumber Industry:  
Simpson Lumber Selling to Interfor

 

Why would we share yet another article on acquisitions in the Lumber Industry?  Because, he with the most sticks wins...

Who's next?

 

Simpson Lumber Conpany has reached a $94.7 million deal with Canada-based Interfor Corp. to sell four of its sawmills, including the 118-employee mill in Longview, the firms announced Thursday.  This mill supplies 180 million board feet annually.

The Fast Dealing Trading Game: Lumber and Monopoly

Remember the board game Monopoly? Of course you do (unless you grew up under a rock :). The game where you wheel and deal as you build your fortune buying up property while you pass go.

 

Lumber can be related the same way. While you don't want to stock pile your lumber supply you definitely want to make wise purchasing decisions (it's all about the right price at the right time - right?).

 

That's why we have a sales team ready to help you win the game by making the right decisions for your lumber needs. Be sure to take advantage of their knowledge and experience.
