What Lewis Lumber Products Inc does

Lewis Lumber Products, Inc. is a privately held hardwood and softwood lumber distributor and custom millwork manufacturer headquartered in Picture Rocks, Pennsylvania, in the heart of Northcentral PA's temperate hardwood forest region. The company was established in 1984 when sister entity Dwight Lewis Lumber Co., Inc. acquired Reese Lumber Co. of Williamsport, and is co-owned by third-generation family members Marc and Mel Lewis alongside President Keith Atherholt (with the company since 1991). Lewis Lumber Products offers 53 wood species (28 domestic, 25 exotic), with 96% of footage volume and 87% of sales revenue from domestic sources — primarily Pennsylvania and New York forests supplied through Dwight Lewis Lumber, the principal raw material provider. Core products include rough and kiln-dried lumber, custom architectural mouldings (supported by a library of 5,000+ profile knives and a Weinig CNC knife grinder), IPE decking, Red Grandis FSC-certified Eucalyptus, and the Prime Line priming service; the company also holds FSC Chain of Custody certification through Preferred by Nature (PBN-COC-000056) since 1998 and Lacey Act compliance.

Operations are vertically integrated from sister-company sawmill (Hillsgrove, Sullivan County) through kiln drying, optimizing ripping with Mereen-Johnson color scanning, moulding production, and finishing. The business serves three primary customer segments: wholesale B2B buyers (cabinet makers, furniture manufacturers, millwork shops) via a sales-led model with dedicated regional account managers across the Mid-Atlantic; architectural millwork and design community for LEED-eligible FSC products; and a long tail of hobbyists, DIY'ers, and aspiring woodworkers through The Hardwood Store (retail) and HardwoodRack.com (e-commerce, launched 2022). Distribution combines an own-fleet trucking operation within a 250-mile radius of Williamsport, PA with common carrier coverage beyond.

Revenue is generated predominantly through one-time product sales (lumber, mouldings, IPE decking, Red Grandis) supplemented by Prime Line finishing services. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; standard credit terms are 1% 10 days, Net 30 from delivery, with a 1.5% monthly finance charge on balances past 60 days, a 3% credit card surcharge, and a 50% deposit requirement on special orders. Lewis Lumber Products is a member of multiple industry associations (PFPA, KWPA, NHLA, AWI, Real American Hardwood Coalition, Hardwood Development Council), reinforcing its position within the domestic hardwood supply ecosystem.
