About Hood Industries

Hood Industries, Inc. is a blend of wood manufacturing and distribution concerns that include two plywood and three lumber manufacturing plants, and twenty-three specialty wood product distribution operations, located in fifteen states serving the northeast, southeast and southwest United States.

After acquiring plywood manufacturing plants in Beaumont and Wiggins, Mississippi, these plants were merged into one company in 1986, Hood Industries. The company continued to grow with acquisitions including three lumber manufacturing plants in Waynesboro and Silver Creek Mississippi and Bogalusa, Louisiana. With these plants, Hood Industries enjoyed phenomenal growth.

Because of this growth, the company decided to add broader strength to the company by balancing the manufacturing endeavors with acquisitions in the distribution industry.  Hood Industries entered the distribution space in 1995 with the acquisition of McEwen Lumber, followed by the purchase of McQuesten Lumber in 1998. These two foundational acquisitions not only expanded Hood’s reach into key markets but also laid the groundwork for what would become Hood Distribution. They shaped the company’s long-term growth strategy, leading to additional acquisitions and the development of greenfield branches across the country. Today, Hood Distribution continues to build on that momentum, with a growing network of locations focused on delivering quality products and exceptional service.
