Universal Forest Products, Inc.

About Universal Forest Products, Inc.

The web address on file for this Silsbee, Texas operation resolves to ufpi.com, the company-wide corporate site of UFP Industries, the parent formerly named Universal Forest Products - not a page about the Silsbee plant. Nothing on the pages read names Silsbee, gives a Texas phone number or address, or describes what is made there; the single Texas reference in the whole site is a 1997 history entry saying the company "enters the site-built construction market with acquisitions in Pennsylvania, Texas and Colorado." What the corporate site does say is this. "Founded in 1955 as Universal Forest Products, we started by supplying lumber to a single market: factory built housing. Over time, as our customers' needs evolved, so did we." Today it describes itself as "a family of businesses that combines innovation, logistics, design, engineering, and value-added solutions to solve complex challenges," supplying "thousands of products that support the world's physical infrastructure." It reports more than 15,000 people and hundreds of affiliates, and posts headline figures of 196 locations worldwide, 14,000+ employees, $6.3 billion in net sales for 2025, 33 years as a publicly traded company and 71 years of service, trading on NASDAQ as UFPI from a Grand Rapids, Michigan headquarters. Its four operating segments - Retail Solutions, Packaging, Construction and International - "manufacture and sell a wide variety of value-added products used in residential and commercial construction, outdoor living, packaging and other industrial applications worldwide." The company's history page traces pressure treating to its Auburndale, Florida plant in 1978 and claims UFP is now "one of the world's largest lumber pressure-treaters," with the 2021 Spartanburg Forest Products acquisition making it "the largest pressure treater in the world"; the 2020 acquisition of PalletOne is described as bringing in "the leading manufacturer of new pallets in the U.S." The name change from Universal Forest Products to UFP Industries is dated to 2020. Culture pages stress "No Mission Statement. Just People on a Mission," promoting from within, and an average senior-executive tenure of 23.3 years. Recent newsroom items listed are about expanding structural packaging capacity in South Carolina and acquisitions extending PalletOne's pallet network - again, none about Texas. As described on ufpi.com, read 23 September 2026.
