What Atlantic Forest Products does

Atlantic Forest Products (AFP) is a privately held U.S. lumber and building products distributor headquartered in Edgemere, Maryland, founded in 1991. The company supplies dimensional lumber (Dry Doug Fir, Dry Hem Fir, Spruce Pine Fir), pine boards and plywood, engineered wood products (LVL, Rimboard, RFPI-Joist, I-Joist PR40/65/80 series), structural hangers, and specialty products including XCEED composite siding and composite decking from manufacturers such as Good Life, Symmetry, Horizon, and Promenade. AFP also distributes treated lumber (Green Western Cedar, SYP MCA Treated) and operates a registered fire-treated product line under the Cop-Guard® mark.

Beyond distribution, AFP provides value-added services that differentiate it from pure resellers. Its Sparrows Point, MD warehouse operates a Holtec Saw for custom P.E.T. lumber cutting, while a team of four in-house engineers designs engineered floor systems using CADD and iStruct software. The company's new Bristol, IN manufacturing center (introduced 2024) produces custom-sized O.E.M. components and supports CNC cutting of wood, plastic, and glass. All three warehouses (Sparrows Point, MD; Stockton, CA; Bristol, IN) offer direct jobsite delivery to commercial and residential construction sites.

AFP sells primarily to construction-industry buyers — builders, contractors, and developers in residential and commercial segments — through 13 regional sales offices, 3 operations centers, and 30+ distribution centers providing coast-to-coast U.S. coverage. Pricing is quote-based per unit with no disclosed subscription or recurring components; services are billed on a pay-as-you-go basis. Revenue is not disclosed, and the company is independently operated with no known parent, institutional investor, or private equity backing. Headcount stands at 80+ employees, all U.S.-based.
