The Southern Forest Products Association cooperates with a variety of allied organizations to accomplish mutually beneficial objectives and maximize staff resources.


 

American Forest & Paper Association

SFPA is a member of the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) and contributes a regional presence and voice on pending federal legislative and regulatory issues that impact the industry. Based in Washington, D.C., AF&PA is a national trade association representing the forest, paper and wood products industry.

 

APA

SFPA's strategic alliance with APA increases staff efficiency through shared promotions, including joint trade show exhibits, product literature, market research and the Wood Products Help Desk.

 

Southeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association

SFPA cooperates with the Southeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association (SLMA) on issues important to the Southern Pine industry.

 

Southern Pressure Treaters' Association

The Southern Pressure Treaters' Association (SPTA) represents producers of industrial wood products preserved with AWPA approved industrial wood preservatives. SFPA works with SPTA on issues that affect the marketability and promotion of treated wood products and building systems.

 

Treated Wood Council

This industry-led alliance of preservative manufacturers, treaters, lumber producers and associations lets the design-build community and consumers know about the proven safety of pressure-treated wood products. Using current resources and synergies already established in the wood industry, the Treated Wood Council (TWC) monitors and responds to regulatory and legislative affairs. The Southern Pine Council is a founding member of TWC.

 

Wood Products Council

SFPA is a charter member of the Wood Products Council, a successful alliance of U.S. and Canadian trade associations, wood products manufacturers and government agencies. WPC's mission is to help protect and grow the market for wood products in North America by serving as a vehicle through which wood industry associations can develop and coordinate programs in the areas of market access, research, education, promotion and technical support.
