NWH

No one knows hardwoods like NWH. We began in the Pacific Northwest with a single alder mill in 1967. Over the years, the company has steadily grown and expanded to become the largest manufacturer and global supplier of hardwood lumber, producing 14+ species of domestic hardwood. Today we also import and distribute a variety of exotic hardwood species, and source both appearance and structural plywood.

As a manufacturer and supplier of products made from natural resources, it is our responsibility to make sure those resources are protected and responsibly managed. Both your customers and our business demand nothing less. We do our part by actively pursuing the strictest sourcing and resource management practices.

North American Hardwoods are among the most plentiful and well-managed natural resources in the world. Hardwood forests naturally regenerate themselves and do not require planting. The preferred method of harvesting is single-tree selection. This provides a sustainable supply and ensures the overall health of the forest including water quality, wildlife habitat, and biodiversity. As a result, the volume of hardwoods has more than doubled since 1950.
