Hoover Treated Wood Products Partners with Boise Cascade to Serve Important Southeast Market

Hoover Treated Wood Products, the world’s leading manufacturer of Fire-Retardant Treated Wood (FRTW) products, has strengthened its long-established relationship with Boise Cascade, a leading manufacturer and distributor of building materials.  This relationship is strengthened with an agreement that makes Hoover’s leading FRTW brands, PyroGuard™ and ExteriorFireX™, available extensively at all Boise Cascade branches in the Southeast.

“Boise Cascade is our premier partner for our fire and life-safety FRTW products,” said David Gillrie, President and CEO of Hoover Treated Wood Products.  “Our relationship leverages the strengths of both our companies and further solidifies both our leadership positions in the important Southeast market.  We value our long-standing partnership with Boise Cascade and respect their leadership in the building products industry.”

“For Boise Cascade, the criteria for choosing a partner for fire treated products are simple,” said Nathan Sikes, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for Boise Cascade’s Building Materials Distribution (BMD) division. “We want a manufacturer who is 100% focused on life safety implications for fire treated wood products, specified on plans, and dedicated to distribution as the most efficient means of bringing this complex product line to our customer base. Hoover is a leader in these three areas, and we are proud to expand our relationship with them in the Southeast.”
