EP 172: Lumber Insights

In this episode, Molly Butz is joined by Justin Binning and Ken Timmins with American International Forest Products (AIFP) who provide a snapshot of the current lumber market. Stronger demand and tightening supply are pushing lumber prices upward, with limited availability of certain products, rising transportation costs, and expectations for a severe wildfire season potentially adding more pressure to an already firm market. Justin has been with AIFP since 2010 with a focus in Southern Yellow Pine and Ken has been with AIFP since 2017, specializing in Fir species. Both specialize in high grade lumber for the component manufacturing industry.
