Alder Producers Form Alliance

Murphy Plywood and Cascade Hardwood have announced a strategic alliance for the production and marketing of Western red alder plywood and lumber.

Their new “Emerald Color-Matched” program will provide manufacturers and distributors unprecedented, high-volume access to coordinated product grades and colors, according to the companies.

“Because most kitchen cabinet jobs require both lumber and plywood, making sure our customers have the required materials in adequate volumes and closely matched color just makes sense,” Jon Syre, President of Cascade Hardwood, said in a statement. “With Murphy’s leading position in the plywood industry and many years of experience in alder, aligning ourselves with them was our most strategic move to best service our customer base. Together, we can create consistency across alder lumber and plywood grades that will increase sales across North America.”
