History
Columbia Forest Products began in 1957 with the idea of building a company where people share the success and make products the right way. Founder A. J. "Andy" Honzel, Sr., along with a small group of investors and a dedicated crew, reopened a closed plywood mill in Klamath Falls, Oregon. The company states that early employees were given opportunities to participate in the company's success, a philosophy that evolved into one of the longest-running employee ownership structures in America. Today it describes itself as a 100% employee-owned company. Its hardwood plywood is produced in seven networked plants across the U.S. and Canada.
