About Our Company
Our History
A great American success story.
We began as a lumber company. But today, we’re much more.
UFP Industries was founded in 1955 as Universal Forest Products, supplying lumber products to one industry: factory-manufactured housing. Today, we’re much more. We’re an innovations company, a logistics company, a design company, an engineering and value-added product and solutions company. When we see an opportunity, we roll up our sleeves and find a solution—delivering a winning combination of products, people, and processes.
Sometimes a company is better described by its spirit and people than by what it makes.
What is UFP Industries? A manufacturing giant, but more importantly, the home of a unique culture built and nurtured over decades. A close-knit family of teammates and affiliated companies known for their determination and grit. An innovator that is proud of its creations and the people that yielded them. A place where people build their careers, support their families, and reach their highest potential.
Our Culture
Building something special.
Our Leadership
Legacy of great leadership.
At UFP Industries, our leaders walk the walk.
We seek courageous leaders who haven’t lost their entrepreneurial drive. Many motivated individuals who started at entry-level positions with UFP have become company leaders, a feature of the culture we cherish and nurture. In fact, the average years of service for our 65 most senior executives is 23.3 years.
We place strong emphasis on growth, which is reflected in our strategic investments.
Between our investments in acquisitions, technology, and R&D, UFP Industries remains competitive and poised to meet evolving market demands in the building materials, packaging, and construction sectors.

Governance

Our success is based on the hardworking individuals who make up our workforce and culture, the environments where we live and work, and the natural resources on which our business and world depend. Our ability to manage these factors, along with many others, helps to create both individual and company success.
