Pacific Lumber & Truss Company

What Pacific Lumber & Truss Company does

Pacific Lumber & Truss Company is a privately held, family-owned building materials supplier and truss manufacturer founded in 1931 and currently led by third-generation owner Jim Morse, with fourth-generation Mitchell Morse in a leadership and innovation role. The company serves home builders, commercial builders, remodeling contractors, and homeowners throughout Oregon and Southern Washington, providing dimensional lumber, metal connectors and hardware, fasteners, siding, trim, fencing, decking, and engineered wood products including LVL beams, LSL studs, and I-joists. Its headquarters and main operations are housed in a 100,000-square-foot facility in Donald, Oregon, opened in 2024.

The company's core technical capability is custom roof and floor truss design and engineering, using advanced design software to produce code-compliant structural components optimized for span, performance, and material efficiency. The proprietary Fast Frame system packages optimized truss design with pre-cut components and coordinated delivery. Pacific Lumber also operates an owned delivery fleet with crane placement capability for truss installation, provides in-house lumber takeoffs, and offers floor and roof layout engineering for permits, making it a vertically integrated supplier across materials, design, and jobsite logistics.

Revenue is generated on a quote-based, project-driven model. The bulk of revenue comes from one-time sales of building materials and manufactured trusses, supplemented by professional services revenue from engineering, layout design, and delivery logistics. Customer acquisition is sales-led, driven by the company's website with department-specific quote request forms, direct phone and email inquiries, and will-call pickup at the Donald facility. There is no indication of paid digital marketing, institutional investors, or PE ownership; the company remains entirely under multi-generational Morse family ownership.
