International Wood Products

What International Wood Products does

International Wood Products, LLC (IWP) is a privately held, family-owned independent stocking distributor of quality building materials serving premier building products dealers (lumberyards and building supply distributors) across 10 western U.S. states. Founded in 1995 and headquartered in Clackamas, Oregon, the company operates six company-owned distribution centers in Clackamas OR, Medford OR, Tumwater WA, Cloverdale CA, Post Falls ID, and Salt Lake City UT, supported by a fleet of company-owned trucks. Its product portfolio spans siding (fiber cement, cedar, LP SmartSide, modified wood), exterior trim and fascia, engineered wood products (I-joists, LVL, glulam beams), decking and railing (with exclusive Trex distribution across all six facilities), fencing, housewrap, dimensional lumber and boards, paneling and soffit, and specialty wood products. IWP generates revenue primarily through B2B wholesale hardware sales to dealers, with pricing transacted through branch-level sales representatives and standard payment terms (1.5% monthly late charge). Distribution is supported by long-term manufacturer partnerships with category-leading brands including Trex, LP Building Solutions, Allura, Huber Engineered Woods, WindsorONE, UFP-Edge, and Western Forest Products.

The company's core technical capability is not software but physical logistics and specialty wood remanufacturing, centered on its Cloverdale, CA facility (acquired from Nu Forest Products in March 2019), which provides in-house cutting, profiling, custom patterns, and a Premium Plus packaging system for cedar, fir, hemlock, alder, juniper, and IPE species. IWP also holds U.S. design patents on the proprietary IWP DECK-HAND tool, a multi-functional deck builder's device. The go-to-market is relationship-driven and channel-partner-led, with branch-level general managers and sales managers responsible for dealer relationships, supported by manufacturer co-marketing, industry trade media presence, and a content-driven website. Growth has been driven by geographic expansion (Post Falls 2022, Salt Lake City 2025) and deepening of exclusive and full-line manufacturer relationships rather than acquisitions beyond the 2019 Nu Forest deal.

Revenue model

1. Building Materials Distribution: IWP generates revenue by purchasing quality building materials from manufacturing partners (Trex, LP Building Solutions, Allura, Huber Engineered Woods, Cedar mills, etc.) and reselling/distributing them to building materials dealers across 10 western U.S. states. The company operates as a full-service, stocking distributor maintaining inventory at 6 distribution centers for just-in-time delivery to dealer customers.
2. Specialty Wood Products Remanufacturing: Through its acquired Cloverdale, CA facility (formerly Nu Forest Products), IWP remanufactures specialty wood products including clears, tight knot, and custom patterns. This adds margin through value-added processing of specialty species (cedar, fir, hemlock, alder, juniper, IPE) including cutting, profiling, and premium packaging.
