Southeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association

, N/A, US • 5 - 9 Employees
Non-Profit

In 1962, 46 lumber manufacturers from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina gathered to discuss the lack of organized representation of southeastern lumber manufacturers. This group agreed to form a new regional association to be named the Southeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association.During these early years, SLMA was primarily concerned with transportation problems, particularly discriminatory rail rates on lumber, and grading and grade marking problems.SLMA has developed into a well-rounded association representing independent lumber manufacturers throughout the southeast. SLMA has grown to 17 states with the continued goal of helping perpetuate family-owned businesses - businesses that are the essence of many communities throughout the southeast.SLMA continues to provide a unique service to independent lumber manufacturers regardless of company size or species manufactured. With emphasis on government affairs, marketing and management and operational issues, the staff and leadership of SLMA develop programs for the needs of the independent lumber manufacturer.
