What Bingaman & Son Lumber, Inc does

Bingaman & Son Lumber, Inc. is a privately held, vertically integrated hardwood lumber manufacturer and wholesale distributor headquartered in Kreamer, Pennsylvania, with origins in the 1930s and formal incorporation in 1968. The company operates three wholly owned sawmill divisions (Pine Creek Lumber in Mill Hall, est. 1977; St. Mary's Lumber, acq. 2006; WBL Hardwoods in Nicktown, acq. 2015) plus two concentration yards (Kreamer HQ and BING Clarendon, acq. 1994), delivering combined weekly capacity of approximately 320,000 board feet of hardwood logs and 5 million+ board feet of kiln-dried inventory at any given time.

The company's product portfolio spans 13+ primary Appalachian hardwood species (Alder, Ash, Basswood, Beech, Birch, Cherry, Hard Maple, Hickory, Poplar, Red Oak, Soft Maple, Walnut, White Oak) plus specialty woods such as Eastern White Pine, Hemlock, Douglas Fir, African Mahogany, and Sapele. Output forms include kiln-dried lumber, logs, strips, dimensions, scantlings, glulam beams, butcher block, and the trademarked Americana™ line of thermally modified outdoor hardwoods (chemical-free process, marketed at 25-year durability). Value-added secondary services — surfacing (S2S), ripping (R1E/R2E), chopping, finger jointing, and thermal modification — are performed in-house, enabling near-100% custom-order yield factors. Operations are FSC Chain of Custody, SFI, NHLA, BMP, and EUTR certified.

Revenue is generated through B2B wholesale transactions on a custom quote basis, with no public pricing or e-commerce. The go-to-market is sales-led via three distinct channels: US & Canada regional field sales, global export sales (covering Europe, China, Southeast Asia, Middle East, Africa, South America, Caribbean, Oceania), and a dedicated specialty products team. End customers include cabinet, flooring, furniture, chair, and commercial window/curtain wall manufacturers. The company is owned in part by employees through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) established in 2004, with first share purchase in September 2006. A 187.88 kWp solar array (online 2015) combined with wood-waste boiler heating delivers net-zero energy operations.
