What sets us apart
The global lumber market is dynamic: When is a good time to buy? What is a good buy? What is happening to the euro (or the real or the peso) this week? Is there a better specie for my needs and where can it best be sourced?
UFP International has professionals around the world with decades of knowledge and relationships who can answer those questions—and much more.
It stands alone with its:
- ability to tap the engineering, R&D and manufacturing capabilities of its sister entities worldwide,
- history of sourcing wood products on all continents,
- logistics expertise,
- multilingual experts with boots-on-the-ground around the globe, and
- focus on responsible sourcing.
