Universal Forest Products is the nation's leading manufacturer and distributor of wood and wood-alternative products to retail/dealer, site-built construction, manufactured housing and industrial markets.

Universal Forest Products is a holding company that provides capital, management and administrative resources to subsidiaries that design, manufacture and market specialty wood packaging and components for various industries, wood and wood-alternative products for DIY/retail home centers and other retailers, structural lumber products for the manufactured housing industry, and engineered wood components for the site-built construction market.

Universal Forest Products' consumer products subsidiary offers a large portfolio of outdoor living products, including wood composite decking, decorative balusters, post caps and plastic lattice, and its garden group offers an array of products, such as trellises and arches, to retailers nationwide. Universal’s subsidiaries also provide framing services for the site-built market and forming products for concrete construction.

Headquartered in Grand Rapids, MI, Universal is a multi-billion-dollar corporation that is publicly traded (NASDAQ: UFPI) with approximately 6,000 employees who work in approximately 70 facilities across North America.

Universal is the leading producer of pressure-treated wood and North America’s largest manufacturer of engineered roof systems for manufactured housing and site-built construction. The company is America’s leading buyer of solid-sawn lumber and the largest customer of North America’s largest mills. That translates into exceptional purchasing power, which is just one of the many benefits Universal customers enjoy.

Universal’s national presence allows it to serve retailers, builders, and manufacturers who are growing as a result of industry consolidation and who seek strong national partners to meet multiple needs. Because the company has locations coast-to-coast, it also serves smaller, independent businesses and helps grow their success.

The people of Universal Forest Products thrive in a culture of integrity and respect and are driven by a collective entrepreneurial spirit. They’re not afraid of the hard work it takes to hit their goals (in fact, they rather enjoy it). And they take pride in being known for doing what they say they’re going to do, time and time again.
