Boise Cascade Partnering with Hoover Treated Wood

Hoover Treated Wood Products, a manufacturer of fire-retardant treated wood (FRTW) products in business since 1955, is bolstering its relationship with Boise Cascade. This partnership is growing, thanks to an agreement that makes Hoover's FRTW brands, PyroGuard and ExteriorFireX, available extensively 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, VP of sales & marketing for Boise Cascade's Building Materials Distribution division. "We want a manufacturer who is 100 percent 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."
