Paul & Dennis Allen Export Company

About Paul & Dennis Allen Export Company

Paul & Dennis Allen Export Company is a logging and timber-buying business based in Centralia, Illinois. Father and son both buy standing timber, buy cut logs, and log timber "throughout Illinois and the surrounding states." They work in white oak and walnut, which they call specialties of the business, and export to overseas markets. Besides harvesting, they do brush clearing and bush hogging, and buy logs from other loggers too. For timber harvesting and land purchasing, they take on plots of ten acres and greater, in Bond, Clay, Clinton, Effingham, Fayette, Jefferson, Marion, Perry, Washington, and Wayne counties. For log purchasing, their territory stretches further, into South Central Illinois, South Eastern Missouri, Western Kentucky, South Western Indiana, and North Western Tennessee. They note they do not trim or remove trees around buildings or homes. The business started as Paul Allen Logging in Clinton County, Illinois back in the 1970s. Dennis, Paul's son, joined as a partner in the 1990s, and the company incorporated in 2010. Dennis is now the primary contact and buyer. Paul & Dennis Allen Export, LLC is licensed, bonded and insured, with "over 50 years experience." For a landowner in Marion County or nearby with ten acres or more of white oak or walnut, this is a father-and-son operation with a long history in the area and an export market for logs, worth a call for a timber sale, a standing timber purchase, or help clearing brush on the property.
