About Us
Founded in Mt. Gilead, North Carolina, in 1939, Jordan Lumber & Supply has grown into one of the most respected lumber mills on the East Coast and is now among the largest privately owned lumber companies in the United States. Operated by second- and third-generation family members, Jordan Lumber has evolved with the industry while staying true to its core mission:
“Our commitment is to provide customers with both specialty and commodity forest products to meet their needs, combining superior quality with exceptional service.”
— Bob Jordan, Founder
Progressive Innovation
Jordan Lumber continues to lead the industry through strategic investments in high-yield innovations, energy-efficient technologies, and sustainable timberland management. Advanced systems like laser-scanning and snapshot optimization ensure maximum recovery and yield. Our zone-controlled, steam-fired dry kilns allow for highly customized drying schedules, conditioning lumber to exact customer specifications.
High-speed grade readers—used both before and after the drying process—allow precise separation of grades at any stage of production. The result is dimensionally stable, visually appealing, wear-resistant pine lumber suitable for a wide range of applications in both domestic and international markets.
Environmental Responsibility
As stewards of thousands of acres of company-owned timberland across the central Carolinas, Jordan Lumber upholds the Best Management Practices outlined by the North Carolina Forest Service. We are proud to replant six times more trees than we harvest on our lands—planting more than 15 million trees since 1973.
Our Landowner Assistance Program extends this commitment, offering private landowners access to the same expert forestry services and sustainable practices that guide our own operations—often at no cost. We manage timberland not only for production, but also for recreation, wildlife habitat, and long-term forest health, creating lasting value for future generations.
