Founded in 1957,
Columbia Forest Products is North America's
largest manufacturer of hardwood plywood and
hardwood veneer products. Columbia's decorative
interior veneers and panels are used in high-end
cabinetry, fine furniture, architectural millwork
and commercial fixtures.
Columbia's products are sold through a network
of wholesale distributors, mass merchandisers
and original equipment manufacturers from three
distinct business units: plywood, veneer and
imports.
Columbia maintains a strong market presence
in every plywood species, core and size category,
including veneer core, medium density fiberboard
(MDF), combination core and particleboard core.
Wood species include ash, birch, cherry, hickory,
maple, red oak, alder, walnut and many others.
In 1999, Columbia's Klamath Falls, Oregon,
plant began producing its plywood using logs
harvested from Forest Stewardship Council (FSC)
certified forestland. Today, all of Columbia's
plywood and veneer mills hold FSC chain of
custody certified by SmartWood, a not-for-profit
subsidiary of the Rain Forest Alliance. By
buying products with an FSC label you are supporting
the growth of responsible forest management
worldwide. |
