Wood & Paper Products

Ohio is the #1 state for wood furniture manufacturing and our region is home to coveted Appalachian Hardwoods. The OhioSE region has over 30 billion board feet of standing timber with over 400 million board feet of hardwood harvested each year. The hardwood and paper products supply chain is well developed with logging, sawmills, kilns, stave mills and specialized trucking operations across the region.

The region is a center for furniture, barrel, hardwood flooring and paper manufacturing. Manufacturers have found great success with the OhioSE region’s abundant and high-quality labor. Nearly 60 sawmills fuel many of these operations. An excellent four lane highway system across the region links together the supply chain to get manufactured products to market.
