## Overview

Boise Cascade is a building-products company that combines wholesale distribution with manufacturing. Its two core businesses are Building Materials Distribution, which supplies lumber, panels, engineered wood products and other construction materials, and Wood Products, which primarily manufactures engineered wood products and plywood. Its products serve residential construction and repair and remodeling, as well as commercial and industrial markets. [1](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P98199451)[2](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P6513620)

The company operates primarily in North America: its distribution network is nationwide in the United States, and most Wood Products sales go to customers in North America. [2](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P6513620) For the year ended December 31, 2025, Boise Cascade reported net sales of $6.405 billion. [3](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T9162379) The company describes its footprint as more than 60 facilities and over 7,500 people across the U.S. and Canada. [4](https://www.bc.com/company/) Its stated purpose is to bring people, products and services together to build lasting homes, businesses and communities. [5](https://www.bc.com/our-values/)

## Products & services

Boise Cascade’s products span engineered wood, plywood, lumber and building materials distributed to customers. Its Building Materials Distribution segment carries commodity products such as oriented strand board (OSB), plywood and lumber; engineered wood products; and general-line materials including siding, composite decking, doors and millwork, metal products, roofing and insulation. These products are sourced both from Boise Cascade’s Wood Products segment and from third-party vendors. [2](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P6513620)

Wood Products manufactures engineered wood products (EWP)—including laminated veneer lumber (LVL), I-joists and laminated beams—as well as structural, appearance and industrial-grade plywood panels and ponderosa pine lumber. I-joists combine an OSB web with LVL or solid-wood flanges. Named EWP lines include BCI® Joists, Versa-Lam® LVL beams and headers, Versa-Stud® and BOISE GLULAM®. Boise Cascade lists BCI joists in depths from 9½ to 20 inches and states they offer 20% greater strength than comparably sized dimensional lumber; Versa-Lam LVL is described as providing bending strength, long-span capability and dimensional stability. [6](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P119173542)[7](https://www.bc.com/ewp/BCI-Joists/)[8](https://www.bc.com/ewp/versa-lam-lvl/)

For FY2025, BMD’s sales mix was 35.0% commodity products, 45.2% general-line products and 19.8% EWP. Wood Products sales were 60% EWP and 31% plywood; BMD accounted for approximately 71% of Wood Products segment sales. These are segment product-mix figures, not percentages of consolidated company sales. [3](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T9162379)[9](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P2392562) Boise Cascade also provides customer support and tools including technical and engineering assistance, product delivery, design and estimating resources, 3D structural modeling and framing-member analysis through BC Framer, and online quoting, ordering and delivery tracking through its BMD eCatalog.

## Geographic presence

Boise Cascade’s disclosed footprint is concentrated in the United States, with a Canadian engineered-wood-products facility. As of February 2026, its Wood Products operations included 11 plywood and veneer plants in Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Oregon, South Carolina, and Washington; five engineered-wood-products plants in Alabama, Idaho, Louisiana, Oregon, and Canada; and two sawmills in Washington. Oregon had five of the plywood and veneer plants. [13](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P112515323)

Its Building Materials Distribution segment operated 40 owned or leased U.S. distribution facilities, with door-and-millwork operations in 15 markets; the company describes its distribution network as nationwide. [14](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P89389360) Boise Cascade says it exports finished wood products and other building materials primarily to Canada, the Caribbean, and Mexico, but does not disclose geographic revenue percentages. [15](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P42946778)[16](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P24159511) Its principal executive offices are in Boise, Idaho. [17](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P104837791) The 2025 annual filing reports about 7,660 employees, without a geographic headcount breakdown. [18](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P51152819)

## Business segments

For FY2025, Boise Cascade reported two business segments: Building Materials Distribution (BMD) and Wood Products. BMD distributes building materials, including commodity products such as OSB, plywood and lumber; general-line products such as siding, decking, doors and millwork, roofing and insulation; and engineered wood products. Wood Products manufactures engineered wood products—including laminated veneer lumber, I-joists and laminated beams—as well as plywood panels and ponderosa pine lumber. The segments are integrated, and BMD is a major customer of Wood Products. [2](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P6513620)

BMD reported $5.941 billion in segment sales, equivalent to approximately 92.8% of consolidated net sales of $6.405 billion; Wood Products reported $1.613 billion, or approximately 25.2%. These percentages use reported segment sales, which include intersegment transactions, and therefore do not add to 100%. Intersegment eliminations of $1.150 billion reconcile segment sales to consolidated net sales. [19](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T8103941)

The company also discloses product-line sales mix within the segments: BMD sales were 35.0% commodities, 45.2% general line and 19.8% engineered wood products; Wood Products sales were approximately 60% engineered wood products and 31% plywood. These are product mix disclosures, not additional reportable segments. [3](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=T9162379)[9](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P2392562)

## Company history

Boise Cascade’s historical roots trace to Boise Payette Lumber Company and Cascade Lumber Company, which merged in 1957 to form Boise Cascade Corporation. [4](https://www.bc.com/company/) In 2004, the present-day company began operating after acquiring OfficeMax’s forest-products assets; the former Boise Cascade Corporation sold its paper, forest-products, and timberland assets and became OfficeMax. [20](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P17482411) In 2007, Boise Cascade agreed to sell its paper, packaging, and newsprint businesses, marking a major shift away from paper operations. [21](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1317436/000110465907068873/a07-23787_1ex99d1.htm)

Boise Cascade completed its initial public offering in 2013. [22](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1328581/000132858113000018/bccexhibit9913312013.htm) It expanded engineered-wood-products manufacturing in 2016 by acquiring Georgia-Pacific facilities in Alabama and North Carolina. [23](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1328581/000132858116000236/ex991pr033116.htm) Later acquisitions broadened its manufacturing and distribution footprint: Coastal Plywood in 2022, Brockway-Smith Company in 2023, and Holden Humphrey in 2025.

Nate Jorgensen became CEO in 2020 and was succeeded by Jeff Strom effective March 3, 2026. [27](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P66660902) [28](https://app.finbar.com/go?id=P120485971)
