About Gillespie Lumber Ltd.

Gillespie Lumber Company, located on South Highway 59 in Nacogdoches, Texas, describes its line of work as "Hardwood Lumber - Laminated and Crane Mats". The company says it "was established in 1965 by R.L. Gillespie and his son Lloyd to meet the ever growing demand for hardwood products", and that it is "now beginning the third Generation with the announcement of Robyn Gillespie taking over management of the mill", adding that over the years it has become "a well know supplier of hardwood products throughout the Texas/Louisiana region". It states that it initially produced quality hardwood cross ties for the railroad industry along with board road materials for oil exploration, and that in order to better serve customers it expanded its manufacturing to include crane/dragline mats and laminated mats. The products named on the site are hardwood mats, crane mats, dragline mats, rig mats, pallet lumber and pipeline skids. The company says it sells pallet lumber to pallet manufacturers and to shipping companies "needing the strength that can only be found in a hardwood pallet", and that stevedores use its custom sized hardwood timbers and hardwood dunnage "to secure some of their most expensive loads before transport overseas". It also announces that it now rents crane/dragline and laminated mats, with "flexible terms" and a willingness to work with customers on all their rental needs, and closes by saying it is "poised for the 21st century's hardwood needs" and would like to help with its knowledge and experience.
