PFPA Membership

The Benefits of Supplier Membership In The Pennsylvania Forest Products Association

Would your profits be affected if there were fewer sawmills, distribution yards, and secondary wood manufacturing companies in Pennsylvania? Many of these forest product businesses have been buying items from companies such as yours for generations. We ask you to join PFPA in determining the future of the forest products industry. If our timber and forest products industry is to survive and prosper, we need you to help the only organization in Pennsylvania that looks out for the economic and political needs of all sectors of the forest products industry.

Consider these reasons for joining PFPA:
  • Thirty-five industry suppliers are currently members of PFPA.
  • You can contact businesses that have the means to purchase your product if you can meet their needs. Our association's 200+ members represent 75% of the hardwood production capacity in Pennsylvania.
  • You will have access to sawmills, loggers, pallet manufacturers, veneer manufacturers, foresters, pulp & paper manufacturers, forestry consultants, commercial landowners, industry suppliers, cabinet manufacturers, secondary wood processors, fiber manufacturers, and wholesale concentration & distribution yards.
  • PFPA membership provides you with multiple formal or informal opportunities to network with prospective customers at events such as the biennial Timber Show hosted by PFPA, highlighting equipment and technology in the forest products industry. Timber 2007 will be held at the Ag Progress Grounds near State College.
  • You will get market exposure through PFPA's Annual Membership Directory and Buyer's Guide, recognized as the best listing of Pennsylvania's sawmills and other forest product companies in the state.
  • Suppliers can get additional market exposure through advertising in two monthly PFPA publications, the Hardwood Log and the Marketing Bulletin, that have a significant readership among forest product companies in Pennsylvania.
