Hoover Treated Wood Products, a manufacturer of fire-retardant treated wood (FRTW) products, recently announced that it has entered an agreement with Boise Cascade that “strengthens the two companies’ long-established relationship.” According to Hoover officials, the agreement allows Boise, a manufacturer and distributor of building materials, to sell Hoover’s leading FRTW brands, PyroGuard and ExteriorFireX, at all Boise Cascade branches in the Southeast.
“Boise Cascade is our premier partner for our fire and life-safety FRTW products,” said David Gillrie, president and CEO of Hoover Treated Wood Products. “Our relationship leverages the strengths of both our companies and further solidifies both our leadership positions in the important Southeast market. We value our long-standing partnership with Boise Cascade and respect their leadership in the building products industry.”
“For Boise Cascade, the criteria for choosing a partner for fire treated products are simple,” said Nathan Sikes, vice president of sales and marketing for Boise Cascade’s Building Materials Distribution division. “We want a manufacturer who is 100% focused on life safety implications for fire treated wood products, specified on plans, and dedicated to distribution as the most efficient means of bringing this complex product line to our customer base. Hoover is a leader in these three areas, and we are proud to expand our relationship with them in the Southeast.”
