New Member Streak Continues into March
Our new member streak continues this month with the addition of Redwood Plastics and Rubber, who we’re very excited to have join the Southern Forest Products Association community!
With the addition of Redwood Plastics and Rubber, our membership now includes 13 lumber manufacturer members (who represent nearly 40% of all Southern Pine lumber production in the United States), and 132 amazing associate members who support that production!

Not only does this newly redeveloped site provide an easy-to-use, one-stop-shop for all Southern Pine lumber technical guidance, resources, we’ve revamped the Members-only section to be more user-friendly and provide up-to-the-minute information on market intelligence and purchase inquiries (did you know we’ve posted 13 purchase inquiries from 12 countries so far in 2024?).

Southern Pine Promotion Activities
SFPA is always somewhere in the world promoting the benefits and best use of Southern Pine, and we’ve had a busy few weeks with the following events (and another busy stretch coming up):
- IndiaWood in Bangalore, India, from February 22-26
- International Builders Show in Las Vegas from February 27-29
- Dubai WoodShow in Dubai, UAE, from March 5-7
- Philippine International Furniture Show in Manila, Philippines, from March 7-9
- Interzum Guangzhou in Guangzhou, China, from March 28-31, 2024
- Carrefour International du Bois in Nantes, France, from May 28-30, 2024
Having attend the last two myself, I can say the demand for Southern Pine and American Softwoods has never been stronger. We actually ran out of promotional literature and technical publications before the end of the first day of the Philippine International Furniture Show!
Keep an eye out on the International Events and Reports section of the Members-only section on SouthernPine.com to read the reports and insights from each as they occur and find a lead or two for lumber sales!
