History, Background, Values: Allied Veneer is a 3rd generation family owned business that began in 1955.

With simple beginnings as a plywood source to the carpet tack strip industry, Allied Veneer's product line has expanded to include a vast array of panel products.

Continuous improvement is our game, and we welcome opportunities to address new and old challenges alike.

Technology has made this a different industry. With technology comes information, and this industry is changing faster than ever. Allied Veneer thrives on this mobile market with its size (considered on the smaller side with a 50,000 square foot warehouse), and its ability to take quick positions in the marketplace.

Allied Veneer has a bright outlook with many initiatives figured in the near future. Building upon a core culture of performance and key indicators, we are striving to be flexible, dynamic, and results driven for our customers. We will accomplish this through technological and product expansion, as well as market feedback initiatives. As the great Peter Drucker once said, "The things that got you to where you are today are not the things that will get you to the future."

What hot Industry topics is Allied Veneer Co. addressing on a regular basis?
The imports market is getting addressed on a daily basis. We are constantly looking at new products and vendors, and seeing how they fit with what our customers are demanding. Right now, not only are our customers telling us to keep a full line of domestic panels, but also to keep them informed of new products arriving from all over the world.

In what ways does NBMDA add value to Allied Veneer Co.?
The benchmarking functions of the operational performance and compensation surveys do a great job of raising red flags within our business. It drives many questions and analysis regarding the 'bones' of what we do.
