RoyOMartin

What RoyOMartin does

RoyOMartin, legally Martco L.L.C., is a privately held, family-owned wood products manufacturer founded in 1923 and headquartered in Alexandria, Louisiana. The company operates a vertically integrated platform spanning approximately 550,000 acres of FSC-certified (since 2002) and SFI-certified (since 2024) Southern Yellow Pine timberland and three manufacturing facilities: a plywood and solid wood plant in Chopin, Louisiana; an OSB plant in Oakdale, Louisiana; and an OSB plant in Corrigan, Texas operated through the subsidiary Corrigan OSB, L.L.C. (opened 2018). The company employs nearly 1,250 people across these operations and reports itself as the largest panel supplier in Louisiana.

The product portfolio is organized into three lines. OSB includes six specialty products — Eclipse OSB Radiant Barrier (reflective sheathing marketed at up to 30°F attic temperature reduction), StructWall and StructWallXL for seismic applications, TuffStrand and TuffStrandXL for wind resistance, TuffStrand-WRB with integrated water-resistive barrier, WindBrace for structural uplift, and TuffTier sub-flooring. The plywood line is anchored by the SmartCore sub-brand (Pine Siding, Beaded, AC, BC, Sturd-I-Floor, Industrial Grade, Rated Sheathing) plus GreenCore Plyform for concrete forming. Solid wood rounds out the line with landscape timbers, structural timbers, and 1x4 boards.

Revenue is generated primarily through B2B sales of wood products via a nationwide lumberyard and building-material dealer network (with a Find My Supplier locator), direct enterprise sales supported by credit applications across Martco, Corrigan OSB, Martin Timberlands and ROMEX, and a tiered Builder Rebate Program targeting builders constructing 0–200 up to 500+ homes per year. Secondary revenue streams include forestry consulting services (timber cruises, timber sale marketing, harvesting supervision, reforestation, GIS/mapping, oil and gas mineral management), hunting leases across nearly 500,000 acres, commercial real estate (Windsor Court Shopping Center in Alexandria), and residential lot sales (Forest Edge Subdivision starting at $45,000). Distribution is complemented by dedicated customer, contractor and logger portals, AIA-approved continuing education for architects, and LEED v4 documentation supporting green-building specifications. Recent strategic activity centers on a $115.1 million expansion of the Corrigan, Texas OSB plant — funded in part by $28.5 million of New Markets Tax Credits — that will increase total production capacity by 70%, retain 200 existing jobs and create 123 new positions.
