Sawmills and Wood Preservation in the US

The Elephant and the Mouse.

It appears that this industry is characterized by extremes. Some changes in ownership have occurred amongst establishments as you would expect of a mature industry. However, companies are either colossal or miniscule in size. Revenue is also subject to the vagaries of the housing construction industry and has in the past, been somewhat disappointing but is predicted to trumpet its gains going forward.

This industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in one or more of the following: (1) manufacturing veneer and/or plywood; (2) manufacturing engineered wood members; and (3) manufacturing reconstituted wood products. This industry includes manufacturing plywood from veneer made in the same establishment or from veneer made in other establishments, and manufacturing plywood faced with non-wood materials, such as plastics or metal.
