The Southern Forest Products Association cooperates with a variety of allied organizations to accomplish mutually beneficial objectives and maximize staff resources. Southeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association SFPA and the Southeastern Lumber Manufacturers Association (SLMA) created the Southern Pine Council (SPC) in 1988 to promote the many advantages and applications of Southern Pine lumber products. Coordinated and supported by producing members of SFPA and SLMA, SPC represents more than 80% of the Southern Pine 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.
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.
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.
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.
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. |
