Founded in 1923, Baillie Lumber has emerged as one of North America’s largest hardwood lumber manufacturers, distributors, and exporters. The company has grown from a regional supplier of domestic hardwoods to an international hardwood manufacturer that can ship its lumber to any region of the world.

Baillie’s hardwood manufacturing facilities are spread north to south in the eastern United States. Partner mills and suppliers in the U.S. and internationally supplement their own hardwood manufacturing capabilities, giving Baillie a level of breadth and availability unmatched by other hardwood manufacturers.
