EP 197: Lumber Insights
Date postedSeptember 3, 2026
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. The market remains turbulent, with MSR grades still difficult to source and transportation challenges adding another layer of complexity. Staying flexible and keeping communication open with suppliers remains especially important in the current environment. 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.
