The Southern Forest Products Association has represented and promoted Southern Pine products and services around the globe since 1915. Our mission is to advance the Southern Pine lumber industry, promote the use of member products in domestic and international markets, and facilitate the exchange of information and ideas.
About Us
We're stronger together.
The original Southern Pine Association was founded on this mantra in 1915, and it remains the core mission of the Southern Forest Products Association (SFPA) today.
SFPA members are visionary industry leaders who understand the power of operating as a collective to offer a broad range of programs and networking opportunities for the Southern Pine lumber community.
Does your company produce Southern Pine products or provide products and services to manufacturers of Southern Pine products? Consider becoming a member!
SFPA is just one part of the greater forest products community, and we work closely with other associations and organizations to promote the use of wood and educate the public on its sustainability.
