About Parton Lumber Co., Inc. — Rutherford Sawmill, LLC
Three generations in, Parton Lumber has changed what it cuts about as often as its markets have: southern yellow pine for post-war housebuilding, Appalachian hardwoods through the furniture years, and eastern white pine today for window and millwork manufacturers. Verno Parton started the company in 1948 and his grandsons Furman and Patrick run it now, with family involvement in lumber traced back to roughly the 1850s. The Rutherfordton operation employs about 130 people, produces some 54 million board feet a year and holds 3.2 million board feet of kiln capacity, selling into export markets as well as domestic ones. It buys standing timber directly and manages its own procurement, so a landowner can sell to the mill without a middleman.
Also trades as Rutherford Sawmill, LLC.
