Freres Engineered Wood | Mass Ply - Timber Manufacturer’s

This family owned and operated business started with one man and a dream back in 1922. And we’ve kept it going to this day by always looking at things in a new way. From the expansion of plywood after World War II to today’s revolutionary Mass Ply, even how we grow and harvest our wood, we’ve never been one to sit still with the status quo. You’ll always find us pushing forward for what’s next and what’s best—because innovation is our tradition.

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.
