UFP Industries is one of the world’s manufacturing giants, standing behind three companies that specialize in retail, construction and packaging. Whether it’s goods that get delivered on time, new construction in communities nationwide, or homes in neighborhoods from coast-to-coast, UFP Industries supplies tens of thousands of products that support the world’s physical infrastructure, keep markets moving, and make everyday life possible.
Some eight percent of all the softwood lumber products in North America go through one of UFP’s facilities, making it the largest solid-sawn softwood lumber converter from North America’s primary lumber mills. UFP purchases all grades and dimensions from its mill suppliers, which promotes long-term, mutually beneficial relationships. This enhances UFP’s ability to manage its raw materials inventory (including vendor-managed inventory), lower its costs and mitigate the volatility of lumber prices.
In addition to its role in the softwood lumber market, UFP is the largest supplier of preservative treated lumber in the nation and, at various times, has been the largest supplier of trusses, pallets and fencing. And UFP is about more than lumber, today many UFP affiliates make products from plastics, corrugated, metals—reinforcing the idea that drives its business. No mission statement; just people on a mission.™
Founded in 1955 as Universal Forest Products to supply lumber products to the manufactured housing industry, UFP Industries today is a multibillion-dollar public company (Nasdaq: UFPI) powered by more than 15,000 people at 220 affiliated operations, all bound by a drive to succeed and to do what’s right for its customers, teammates and the future.
