Sixty-nine exhibitors showcased their innovative products and services, providing attendees with valuable insights into the latest advancements in the lumber manufacturing sector. From cutting-edge machinery and equipment to sustainable forestry practices, the trade show presented a comprehensive array of solutions.
A family event, the MLMA Convention and Trade Show went beyond business interactions and offered a range of engaging activities to foster fellowship among members. The golf tournament saw over 40 golfers at The Preserve Golf Club in Vancleave, MS, while the fishing tournament allowed anglers to showcase their skills on the waters of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
