Mass Ply Products: The Wood of the Future

Mass Ply Panel (MPP) is a patented, massive, large scale, structural composite lumber based panel designed as an alternative to Cross Laminated Timber (CLT). Mass timber products have been used in Europe for decades as a substitute for concrete construction, and are rising in popularity in multi-story construction in the United States. Mass Ply products are our contribution towards revolutionizing the construction industry, by providing renewable, engineered, pre-manufactured products for large scale projects.

Industry Leader

Veneer and Plywood

Long before we manufactured plywood, we focused our energy and expertise to utilize as much a log as we could to produce the highest quality veneer possible. This built a reputation for quality that carried into our plywood products.

Born Among the Trees

We are certified by the American Tree Farm System (ATFS), a third-party accredited body that ensures that our products originate from sustainably-managed forests.

Our 17,000 acres of timberland are harvested on a sustained yield basis.

We operate a Zero Waste business, using 100% of every log that hits our yard.

We replant more than 350,000 trees annually on private land and timber sale properties.

We abide by the Oregon Forest Practices Act and its environmental standards.

We built a Cogeneration plant in 2007. This plant, Evergreen BioPower, provides enough energy to power approximately 5,000 homes.
