The Lumber Manufactory Insights
What We Do
The Lumber Manufactory is a venture-backed sustainable lumber startup focused on domestic wood processing and supply chain infrastructure. We're building modern manufacturing infrastructure to serve the housing and construction industries while supporting responsible forest management. Our first mill is running successfully and we're actively expanding into the Southeast region. We're backed by Cantos, Slow Ventures, Susa Ventures, Banter, Humba Ventures, and Ravelin Capital. We're solving a real supply chain problem: the US imports roughly one-third of its lumber. We're building mills to change that and become part of national infrastructure around wood processing and domestic supply. It's tied to housing, economic development, and responsible forestry management.
Why Work With Us
You'll work on infrastructure that matters. You see the impact of your work directly. We move fast, we care about excellence, and we're mission-driven. No corporate BS—just smart people solving real problems.
