Boise Cascade Co

Boise Cascade is one of the largest U.S. wholesale distributors of building materials and a leading manufacturer of engineered wood products (EWP) and plywood in North America. The company operates through two reportable segments: Building Materials Distribution and Wood Products, which are highly integrated. The Building Materials Distribution (BMD) segment operates a nationwide network of distribution facilities. This segment sells a broad range of building materials, including commodities like oriented strand board (OSB), plywood, and lumber. It also offers general line items such as siding, composite decking, doors and millwork, metal products, roofing, and insulation, as well as EWP. The Wood Products segment manufactures laminated veneer lumber (LVL), I-joists, and laminated beams, which are collectively referred to as EWP. Additionally, this segment produces structural, appearance, and industrial grade plywood panels, and ponderosa pine lumber. The BMD segment is the largest customer of the Wood Products segment, sourcing substantially all of its EWP from it. Other distributed products are sourced from a broad base of third-party suppliers. Boise Cascade's products are used in new residential housing construction, including single-family, multi-family, and manufactured homes, as well as in the repair and remodeling of existing housing. They are also utilized in the construction of light industrial and commercial buildings and other industrial applications. The company serves a broad customer base, including dealers, home improvement centers, leading wholesalers, specialty distributors, and industrial converters.
