Join SFPA

Welcome to the

Southern Forest Products Community

We’re stronger together. That was the idea behind the initial founding of the original Southern Pine Association in 1915, and it remains the core of the Southern Forest Products Association (SFPA) today. Keep reading if you’re ready to join SFPA!

As a collective industry association, we pool our resources to:

Promote and educate users, specifiers, and retailers about Southern Pine
Develop credible lumber product information and supporting publications
Provide access to forest products industry experts and international markets
Advocate for the use of sustainably managed, climate-smart Southern Pine
Grow our industry by amplifying the features, benefits and use-cases of Southern Pine products
Sponsor and produce the bi-annual Forest Products Machinery & Equipment EXPO, bringing industry professionals together for insight and opportunities to showcase the newest equipment, products and services.

SFPA members are visionary industry leaders who understand the power of working together:

Our sawmill members are experts in the efficient production of quality southern pine lumber.
Associate treater and distributor members understand the entire supply chain, tapping into our global network of industry representatives that support international trade.
Associate equipment manufacturing members assist member companies with mechanical efficiencies, creating value across the entire manufacturing process.

Finally, and importantly, all SFPA members understand the power of operating as a collective to offer a broad range of programs and networking opportunities. The connections forged through SFPA activities are driving significant growth for the southern pine industry.

Our SFPA membership has unlocked industry connections we never dreamed possible.

The discounted EXPO exhibition space alone is worth our membership dues and then some!

SFPA’s detailed industry trend reports have been critical in our sales and production forecasting.

We’re selling in Europe now. That would never have been possible without the network we’ve cultivated as SFPA members.

We know by being involved with SFPA that they're connected to the right people.

With SFPA, we're confident we're reaching the target audience we want.

It's the networking of like-minded people in a common industry, and whenever you can put those diverse personalities and operations and solutions together, it just sparks more and more thinking.

SFPA insight helps us understand what's taking place and not just in the equipment supply sector, but what our customer base is looking for.

SFPA gives us contact with the industry in lots of different fashions and connection with different folks.

SFPA is a binder. It binds the relationships for all these members to be a part of and share experiences and talk.

The benefit of being with the SFPA is getting our name out there to people that don't know us.
