Mcdowell Lumber & Pallet Co., Inc.
About Mcdowell Lumber & Pallet Co., Inc.
Tony McDowell started in 1974 cutting trees with a portable sawmill. A Pallet Enterprise trade profile describes what that grew into: a hardwood sawmill plus pallet plant spread over nine buildings and 112,000 square feet on 35 acres, employing about 75 people, with pallet operations bought in 2002 now making up roughly 30 percent of revenue. The company's website puts output at around 20 million board feet sawn a year and about 15,000 pallets a week; the trade profile reported 18 million feet and 10,000 pallets. Species run roughly 40 percent poplar and 25 percent each red and white oak. The part that matters most to a landowner is the forestry side — timber purchasing and evaluation, management planning, logging assistance, reforestation and land-management consultation — handled by the same company that saws the logs.
Also trades as McDowell Lumber Company.
