The heart of Putnam's operations lies in the southern pine producing region (pictured below). Southern yellow pine (SYP) is a general group of four principle tree species of longleaf, slash, shortleaf and loblolly, grown in a geographic range from Virginia to Texas, USA. Southern Pine is an economical choice for use in wood manufacturing due to its beauty, strength, durability, value, availability and many other factors.
People are increasingly dependent on trees for basic necessities. The Southern Pine region has over 192 million acres of forestland to meet the demands of SYP manufacturing facilities. These forestlands are harvested and replanted to ensure a continuous supply of fiber to meet the demand placed upon industries that rely upon SYP in their manufacturing operations.
There are thousands of facilities that use SYP for producing lumber, plywood, panel products, pressure treated wood, engineered wood, and packaging products. SYP products are manufactured in the United States and exported to every inhabited continent in the world.
Our Export MarketsPutnam Lumber is 100% export oriented. The entire focus of our operations is on getting our customers their shipments on time, with the right quality product, and at the right price.
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.
