UFP Industries

UFP Industries, Inc., a company founded in 1955 and based in Grand Rapids, Michigan, specializes in the global design, manufacturing, and distribution of both traditional wood and innovative wood-alternative products. Operating across North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia, the organization was previously known as Universal Forest Products, Inc. before adopting its current name in April 2020. Its operations are structured into three primary business segments: Retail, Industrial, and Construction. The Retail segment caters to consumers and contractors by supplying a diverse array of products. This includes treated and untreated dimensional lumber, alongside a comprehensive selection of outdoor living solutions such as wood and composite decking with associated accessories, as well as decorative items for lawns, gardens, crafts, and hobbies. These offerings reach national home improvement chains and both regional and contractor-focused lumberyards, marketed under established brand names like ProWood, Deckorators, UFP-Edge, Outdoor Essentials, Dimensions, ProWood FR, and Handprint. Within the Industrial segment, the focus is on creating essential components for packaging, shipping, and material handling. Products range from various types of pallets, specialized crates, and wooden boxes to other containers and protective packaging solutions, all designed for robust industrial applications. The Construction segment provides a wide range of structural and building materials. Key offerings include roof trusses, cut and shaped lumber, plywood, oriented strand boards (OSB), and dimensional lumber, as well as sophisticated engineered wood components like roof and floor trusses, wall panels, and I-joists, often supplied in full lumber packages. This segment also acts as a distributor for siding, electrical, and plumbing products, primarily serving the factory-built housing and recreational vehicle (RV) industries. Furthermore, it is involved in the fabrication of components, the engineering and supply of wood forms for concrete structures such as parking garages, stadiums, and bridges, and offers agricultural support services to builders. Complementing these, the segment produces interior fixtures, millwork, and casework for commercial and retail spaces, along with structural wood packaging and original equipment manufacturer (OEM) components for diverse industrial sectors.
