What Prime Forest Products does

Prime Forest Products is a privately held, family-owned secondary manufacturer (remanufacturer) of high-grade softwood lumber, founded in 2012 by Brad Rodakowski in Beaverton, Oregon. The company purchases shop and clear-grade lumber from sawmills and transforms it through drying, precision cutting, and surfacing to 1/32 inch tolerances using a specialized equipment fleet that includes Baker Resaws, Leadermac L6/L9/L12 moulders, a 350 Optimizer with laser scanning and computer vision, four computer-controlled dry kilns (400 MBF capacity, HT certified, 12% moisture target with case-hardening testing), a sticker stacker, and an in-house knife shop. Core products include remanufactured lumber, cut stock, custom patterns, custom dimensions (from 1x2/WDR up to 12x24 timbers and cants), and Lamstock for engineered wood applications (Glulam, CLT, LVL, finger-jointed lumber), across species including Douglas Fir, Hemlock, Taeda Pine, Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Western Red Cedar, Radiata Pine, and Ponderosa Pine. Operations span three Oregon facilities (Beaverton headquarters, Sweet Home remanufacturing plant acquired in December 2023 from Rainier Custom Remanufacturing, and a Springfield cutstock facility), with a workforce of 50+ employees.

The company sells on a custom quote-based pricing model directly to industrial manufacturers (with a particular focus on window and door producers), millwork houses, and wholesale distributors, and ships worldwide through a logistics and trade-compliance team. Go-to-market is sales-led via a team of product specialists and second-generation lumbermen, supported by LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, newsletter, and website content. Prime Forest holds FSC and PEFC (PEFC/29-31-347) Chain of Custody certifications, operates a 2:1 tree-planting program (over 25,000 trees planted, targeting 275,000 by spring 2026) in partnership with One Tree Planted, and has achieved 100% renewable electricity in operations with a 42% Scope 1+2 emissions reduction target by 2030. Recent flagship commercial wins include supplying PEFC-certified wood for the Grand Stade Hassan II, the 115,000-seat venue for the 2030 FIFA World Cup in Morocco, with formal succession underway from founder Brad Rodakowski to his son, Vice President Lucas Rodakowski.

Core offering

Prime Forest Products is a secondary manufacturer (remanufacturer) of high-grade softwood lumber. The company purchases shop through clear grade lumber directly from sawmills and transforms it through drying, precision cutting, and surfacing operations to produce custom-tailored lumber products—including cut stock, custom patterns, and custom dimensions—for industrial manufacturers, millwork houses, and wholesale distributors. Products are surfaced and finished to 1/32 inch tolerance using kilns, resaws, planers, and moulders, and are shipped worldwide.

Product overview

Prime Forest Products is a secondary manufacturer (remanufacturer) of high-grade softwood lumber operating as a platform-plus-services model. The company sources clear grade lumber from sawmills and transforms it through remanufacturing processes including drying, cutting, and surfacing. The core offerings consist of Remanufactured Lumber, Cut Stock, Custom Patterns, and Custom Dimensions — all produced to 1/32 inch precision using their equipment fleet (Baker resaws, Leadermac moulders, kilns, optimizer). Their product portfolio spans multiple wood species (Douglas Fir, Hemlock, Western Red Cedar, Radiata Pine, Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Ponderosa Pine) and engineered wood components (Lamstock for Glulam, CLT, LVL). Two facilities handle distinct operations: Prime Forest Products (Beaverton, OR) for sales and sourcing, and Prime Forest Remanufacturing (Sweet Home, OR) for production. Recent growth was driven by the 2023 acquisition of Rainier Custom Remanufacturing Inc. The company holds FSC and PEFC chain of custody certifications and recently secured a high-profile supplier contract for the 2030 FIFA World Cup Grand Stade Hassan II stadium.
