Louis J. Grasmick Lumber Company, Inc.
Partner Profile - Retailing FSC-Certificed Products to the Baltimore Area
For more than 50 years, Grasmick Lumber has been a family owned and operated retailer supplying the Batimore, MD and eastern seaboard areas with a diverse array of products, from materials for manufacturing plants, to residential housing, commercial construction, bridge and highway building, pallets, drywall, and roofing materials. They also specialize in the historical renovation of wood windows and doors. They have become a staple in the building industry in the Baltimore/ Washington area, supplying lumber for projects such as Camden Yards, MCI Sports Arena, and the refurbishment of the U.S.S. Constellation.
Last month, Grasmick Lumber expanded their portfolio by obtaining FSC chain-of-custody (COC) certification that would enable them to sell FSC-certified products. According to Matthew Miller, Sales Representative for Grasmick, they were interested in FSC certification because, “we had many inquiries from contractors looking for FSC lumber and plywood. We realized the need for a certified lumber yard here in the Delaware-Maryland-Northern Virginia area who understood the in’s and out’s of FSC certification and the COC process.”
Grasmick Lumber plans to carry FSC-certified lumber, plywood and trim. They have already filled one order for FSC-certified products and have several inquiries for more orders.
