Robinson Lumber Co., headquartered in New Orleans, LA, welcomed attendees and guests to a crawfish boil held in conjunction with the recent National Wood Flooring Association’s 2024 Convention and Expo.
Live music and all-you-can-eat crawfish was the fare of the evening event.
Since 1893, New Orleans has been Robinson’s hometown and the hub of Robinson’s activities. According to the company website, Robinson designed and built modern, wood-enhanced offices to provide the best working environment for its sales team, administrative, accounting, and communications departments. The latest innovations in computer technology and inventory control allow the senior partners to monitor activities in 14 locations as well as inventories and customers in over 60 countries.
Strategically centered in the best White Oak and Hickory region in North America, Robinson’s state-of-the-art concentration yard in New Albany, IN, efficiently processes the finest green lumber into KD lumber and strips for export and domestic shipments, according to the company’s website. A skilled and experienced team coordinates computer controlled modern kilns, perfect stacking, surfacing and ripping to produce a consistently superior quality product, uniform in color and texture. The company continues to invest to upgrade and expand its flagship production facility.
In fact, in 2023 Robinson Lumber expanded the New Albany yard, which doubled the footprint of the location, enabling implementation of cutting-edge technologies and processes to enhance production capabilities. This expansion included the installation of additional kilns, which significantly bolster the company’s drying capacity and enhances overall operational efficiency.
Robinson’s European office in Belgium handles sales and logistics for lumber and decking to the European Union and coordinates the company’s international Hardwood purchasing. Robinson also has sales offices in the Netherlands and France to better serve its importing clients in Europe and around the world.
