Northwest hardwoods’ PEFC certification

20 October 2012


Northwest Hardwoods, one of the largest hardwood lumber producers in the US, has achieved PEFC certification for its western hardwood operations.

"PEFC certification essentially has become a de facto requirement to participate in European forest product markets so this is crucial to our efforts to expand fine-grained alder to major European markets," said the company's sales director David Weyerhaeuser.

"Certification also helps us meet customer demand for certified products in furniture, cabinets, millwork and floor markets around the world."
