Biloxi, MS– The Beau Rivage was the setting here for the 67th Annual Mississippi Lumber Manufacturers Association’s (MLMA) Convention and Tradeshow. The event attracted more than 500 attendees and 62 exhibitors.
Attendees had the opportunity to network and display their products.
The MLMA was originally organized in 1954 as the Mississippi Pine Manufacturers Association to promote the sale and use of Southern Yellow Pine lumber produced by Mississippi sawmills. In 1978, the name was changed to Mississippi Lumber Manufacturers Association to include both hardwood and Southern Yellow Pine mills. MLMA’s hardwood mills are now an integral part of its membership. MLMA mill members include responsible manufacturers of quality southern lumber, both Pine and hardwood, representing all lumber production sections of Mississippi. Associate membership includes business-related companies and suppliers, lumber wholesalers and lumber producers in other states.
MLMA was founded by Warren Hood, Floyd Sulser, and Richard Molpus in 1954 and has been a leading proponent of the forest products industry for 60 years. MLMA has grown to serve more than 19 sawmills and 125 associate members.
