Core offering

Murphy Company is a vertically integrated forest products manufacturer producing hardwood plywood, softwood plywood, and engineered wood (Laminated Veneer Lumber/LVL) products across six facilities in Oregon and Washington. The company converts timber into a portfolio of panel and structural products including hardwood plywood (veneer, composite, calibrated, and FiberPly cores in species such as Ash, Birch, Alder, Maple, Cherry, Walnut, Hickory), softwood plywood panels (sheathing, underlayment, sanded grades, concrete form products), and a full LVL line (structural lumber, beams, headers, truss chords, scaffold planks, marriage beams, crane mats).

Product overview

Murphy Company is a family-owned wood products manufacturer founded in 1909, producing a comprehensive portfolio of hardwood plywood, softwood plywood, and engineered wood products (LVL). The product portfolio centers on three core categories: Hardwood Plywood & Panels (offering various core types and wood species), Softwood Plywood (manufactured from Pacific Northwest Douglas-fir), and Laminated Veneer Lumber (LVL) engineered wood products for structural applications. Supporting these core products are value-added services including wall paneling, UV finishing (PermaGuard), thermo-fused laminates (ArmorLam), component finishing, and custom-crafted panels with cut-to-size, edge-banding, and special packaging options. The company's six manufacturing facilities in Oregon and Washington enable vertically integrated production from raw timber to finished engineered wood products.
