EP 188: Lumber Insights

from Component Connection Hosted by SBCA

In this episode, Molly Butz is joined by Justin Binning and Ken Timmins with American International Forest Products (AIFP) who provide a snapshot of the current lumber market. Six months of increases, growing forest fire concerns, mill-side constraints, and limited Canadian fiber continue to put pressure on supply. Meanwhile transportation remains challenging and a few products, including some MSR grades, are creating spot shortages. Justin has been with AIFP since 2010 with a focus in Southern Yellow Pine and Ken has been with AIFP since 2017, specializing in Fir species. Both specialize in high grade lumber for the component manufacturing industry.
