PROFILE |
 |
Once it helped build Levittown, New York -- now Futter Lumber sells enough wood to build a new Levittown every year. One of the largest lumber wholesalers on the East Coast, Futter sells about 300 million feet of lumber (which would build 17,000 homes) annually to lumberyards that cater to professionals rather than to do-it-yourself retailers. The company transports lumber via train and ship, mostly from mills in California, Canada, Oregon, and Washington. Futter keeps about $15 million of lumber in 17 distribution centers located in the US (including Maryland, Maine, and Oregon) and Canada. Founded in 1945 by Matthew Futter, the company is owned and run by CEO Bernard Futter, who joined his father in 1950.
