Putnam Lumber and Export distributes quality lumber, plywood, oriented strand board and other construction products from the United States, Canada, Brazil and China. The company was founded in 1945 and has a rich history that dates back to the early 1900s.
We are experienced in all phases of lumber manufacturing and distribution. Shipments are routed directly from the manufacturer or from our warehouses located in Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina via break-bulk barge, flat rack and containerized shipment.

Our exporting roots began with supplying the Caribbean markets SYP and Cypress lumber in 1928. Even though the Caribbean continues to be our most important market, we have grown and expanded into new markets throughout the years. Today, we have an annual overseas distribution of 95,000 cubic meters (over 2,000 truckloads) and are shipping products as close as Mexico and as far away as eastern Asia.
