States Industries is celebrating 50 years as a hardwood manufacturer in the wood and wood products industries.

“We’re taking advantage of this opportunity to celebrate the journey so far,” States Industries president Mike Taylor says. “At the same time, we are looking into innovative ways to build for the future.”

When States was founded in 1966, the company focused exclusively on manufacturing wall panels. It wasn’t until 1974 that States started production of industrial hardwood panels and established a full line of hardwood plywood products. States’ constant innovation, focus on custom products and commitment to green principles led to the introduction of NOVA prefinished panels and the creation of the first soy-based, no-added-formaldehyde panels, according to the company.
