History of IWP

International Wood Products began with the purchase of the Conifer Pacific distribution center in Clackamas, OR in November 1994. As a wholesale building materials company, Conifer was focused on the distribution of commodity items. With the purchase of Conifer, IWP’s goal was to change the focus from commodity items to a broad range of both commodity and specialty products, diversifying the overall product mix. This commitment to a diverse product mix was the foundation of IWP in 1995 and continues today, over 20 years later.

*   1995 –  Terry Hagen joined IWP as President, bringing with him 13 years of experience with Furman Lumber, one of the largest independent distribution chains in the US at the time.
*   1996 – Terry’s brother-in-law, Gary Adams, purchased IWP in January 1996 providing a stronger financial base to the company; Terry continued as President. Later the same year, Dave Stelle joined IWP as Vice President of Sales and Marketing.
*   1998 –  IWP made the decision to purchase the assets of Foster’s Wholesale in Medford, OR.
*   2008 –  IWP was prepared to expand further, opening a branch in Tumwater, WA.
*   2010 – Doug Hart purchased a majority interest in IWP and became CEO with Dave Stelle assuming the role of President.
*   2019 – IWP continues expansion with the acquisition of NuForest Products in California, now operating under the IWP name.
*   2021 – Josh Hamilton is named president of IWP as Dave Stelle prepares for retirement.
*   2022 – IWP opens a new location in Post Falls ID, now proving service to 10 western states

While the ownership and leadership structure changed, IWP’s commitment to service remains the same. IWP continues to expand its customer base and product mix and is today one of the premier building material distributors in the Northwest.

At IWP we are attentive to our customers’ needs in relation to the environment. IWP does not own any timber or forest lands, but we work to promote those suppliers that do practice sustainable forestry management over those that do not.

We will regularly review our policy in the evolution of the products we carry as they relate to the standards for Sustainable Forestry Management and Certification.
