Hoover Treated Wood Products, based in Thomson, is strengthening its footprint in the Southeast through an expanded partnership with Boise Cascade. This agreement positions Hoover’s fire-retardant wood products at Boise Cascade branches across the Southeast, bolstering both companies’ leadership in building materials.
Hoover, the world’s leading manufacturer of Fire-Retardant Treated Wood (FRTW) products, has strengthened its long-established relationship with Boise Cascade, a leading manufacturer and distributor of building materials.
“Boise Cascade is our premier partner for our fire and life-safety FRTW products,” said David Gillrie, President and CEO of Hoover Treated Wood Products. “Our relationship leverages the strengths of both our companies and further solidifies both our leadership positions in the important Southeast market. We value our long-standing partnership with Boise Cascade and respect their leadership in the building products industry.”
“For Boise Cascade, the criteria for choosing a partner for fire-treated products are simple,” said Nathan Sikes, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Boise Cascade’s Building Materials Distribution (BMD) division. “We want a manufacturer who is 100% focused on life safety implications for fire-treated wood products, specified on plans, and dedicated to distribution as the most efficient means of bringing this complex product line to our customer base. Hoover is a leader in these three areas, and we are proud to expand our relationship with them in the Southeast.”
Hoover Treated Wood Products has been in business since 1955. The company supplies a comprehensive portfolio of pressure-impregnated kiln-dried lumber and plywood products for fire retardant and preservative applications. Hoover has multiple company-owned treating facilities, to service a 100-plus member stocking distributor network that covers the United States.
