Lumber Trading & Material Programs
Highland Lumber & Mill trades lumber and panels for buyers who think in programs, not single orders. Our Coeur d'Alene, North Idaho Lumber Trading Division runs it, and as direct plywood importers and hardwood lumber board-in-market producers, we can build a supply program around your volumes.

What trading means at Highland
- Direct plywood imports. We bring in import panels such as Baltic birch, meranti/luan and LVL, and we can talk through program buys, not just spot orders.
- Board-in-market hardwood. As hardwood lumber board-in-market producers, we work on hardwood programs as well as single orders.
- Lumber trading from Coeur d'Alene. Our North Idaho trading division adds a trading operation to our Southern California locations.
Who it's for
- Distributors and lumberyards building their own assortment
- Manufacturers with recurring usage in cabinetry and millwork, furniture and display or industrial manufacturing or crating and packaging
- Buyers who want material, processing and supply planning from one partner
How we build a program
Consultation first. Product second. Value always. We start with your volumes, tolerances, inventory strategy and what happens to the material downstream, then plan around:
- Operational flow
- Specification accuracy
- Lead-time predictability
- Cost stability
- Long-term scalability
Sales can help you set substitution rules for when a face, core or species is tight.
What to send us
- Products and specs: species, grade, panel construction, sizes
- Annual or monthly usage, and how often you release orders
- Where the material goes: your yard, your plant, or our remanufacturing and lamination lines first
- Your current pain points: lead times, cost swings, quality
