Global Perspective of Forest Products

Being a global leader means having a broad perspective. We compete in forest product markets worldwide, which means we understand how events in one part of the world can impact conditions in another. For example, developments in China can affect markets in New Zealand, while changes in Europe can influence the North American market. Every region in the forest product industry is interconnected, so what happens in one area can have ripple effects elsewhere.

We use our global reach to serve our customers at a local level. We continuously gather and analyze data from all forest product markets, including those for western red cedar, douglas fir, SYP, and SPF. While our customers may focus on their specific region and expertise, the wealth of information we have can still benefit them.

Lumber prices can fluctuate greatly. With our unique position, we can oversee all markets simultaneously. By keeping an eye on prices and supplies worldwide, we can alert our customers to the best opportunities for buying, advising them on when, what, and how to purchase. Together, we can capitalize on regional price differences to find the products they need at the lowest cost. This often leads to significant savings, ensuring that Olympic Industries customers get the most value for their money.

Customers choose Olympic Industries not only for our quality forest products but also for our industry expertise and market analysis. It's this combination that transforms initial transactions into long-lasting relationships that span decades.
