Elk Creek Forest Products Named Exclusive Sales Agent for Reopened Buse Mill Company

Elk Creek Forest Products is pleased to announce its selection as exclusive sales agent for Buse Mill Company. An agreement between the two companies marks a significant partnership as Buse Mill Company, having ceased operations as Buse Timber & Sales in 2024, resumes manufacturing high-quality lumber products that will be marketed by Elk Creek Forest Products, a growing leader in the lumber distribution industry.

“We are thrilled to partner with Buse as they restart production,” said Brett Slaughter, President of Elk Creek Forest Products. “This collaboration strengthens our ability to provide our customers with an even more consistent and reliable supply of top-quality lumber while also supporting the local economy and job creation in the region.”

Located in Everett, Washinton since 1946, Buse has long been known for its commitment to producing premium lumber. With this reopening, the mill is set to resume producing the same high-quality lumber products like FOHC timbers, transmission crossarms, industrial clears, and structural lumber that Buse has traditionally delivered.

Elk Creek Forest Products will be responsible for all sales and distribution, ensuring that Buse Mill Company is well-positioned to renew and build customer relationships that meet the growing demand for lumber at all levels of distribution.
