Distribution is North America–focused from the single Itasca warehouse, though supply-side manufacturing reach is global through partner relationships. Industry participation includes IWF Atlanta trade show presence and membership in AWFS and the Wood Products Manufacturers Association, signaling conventional B2B trade-channel engagement rather than differentiated digital or technology-led distribution.
