Southern Yellow Pine Lumber Manufacturer

Accelerated Manufacturing M&A has exclusively listed this family-owned, southern U.S.-based Southern Yellow Pine lumber manufacturer, which specializes in finger-jointed studs and wood pellets. This husband-and-wife team started the business 15 years ago working solely on finger-jointed studs, and as true entrepreneurs they constantly sought ways to improve the bottom line.

Late in 2018 they looked at the amount of waste the business generated and decided to sell it for other uses. That decision required investment in equipment to process the waste into pellets. The addition of wood pellets was a game changer and altered their profitability. The pellets are sold through distributors for multiple uses, including animal bedding, and reach markets as far away as Japan.

All business runs through lumber distributors and is repeat in nature, with no company promotion.
