P R O F I L E S P O N S O R E D C O N T E N T M A K E R P RO F I L E 25 At Hancock Lumber, "Made-in-Maine" isn't simply a state- ment about where we manufacture, it's part of who we are. Our roots go back to 1848, when our company began in Casco, Maine, harvesting timber and milling logs into lumber. Seven generations later, we're still growing trees and milling them into Eastern White Pine products, manufacturing trusses and wall panels, investing in Maine communities, and helping professional builders create the homes and spaces where people live, work, and gather. Today, Hancock Lumber is a seventh-generation, family-owned integrated forest products company with 750 employees and a network of lumberyards, Eastern White Pine mills, component manufacturing facilities, and thousands of acres of timberland. Our manufacturing story starts in the forest, where we partner with landowners and logging contractors to responsibly manage timberlands and selectively harvest Eastern White Pine, a renewable resource that takes 80 to 100 years to mature. From there, Eastern White Pine moves through our sawmills in Bethel, Casco, and Pittsfield, where Team Hancock transforms logs into world-class pine boards used for siding, trim, millwork, and furniture. e manufacturing process also produces by-products like shavings, sawdust, and bark mulch with 100% of the log fiber utilized and zero material wasted. Our Made-in-Maine story continues to evolve. In addition to pine, we manufacture roof and floor trusses and wall panels that help professional builders build faster, safer, and more efficiently. In early 2027, we'll take another generational step forward with the opening of a new 44,000-square-foot component manufacturing facility in Oxford. Featuring advanced automation and manufacturing technology, Oxford will significantly increase our wall- panel capacity and introduce precut and labeled framing packages. Combined with our existing truss capabilities, Hancock Lumber will provide builders with integrated framing solutions through a single point of contact—helping reduce jobsite labor, improve precision and efficiency, get structures weather-tight faster, and enable our customers to do more with the people they have. For us, innovation has never meant leaving our roots behind. It means building on them. at philosophy extends to our people and our com- mitment to building a people-first, values-driven cul- ture. Hancock Lumber's shared-leadership philosophy recognizes that the people closest to the work have valuable knowledge, ideas, and experience that can move the business forward and strengthen the customer experience. We strive to create workplaces where people feel trusted, respected, valued, and heard—and where everyone has opportunities to learn, grow, lead, and build a meaningful career. Investing in people is also an investment in Maine. Careers across manufacturing, forestry, design, logistics, technology, sales, and the building trades help strengthen Maine's workforce, communities, and economy while creating opportunities for the next generation. Being in business since 1848 says more about our com- mitment to the future than it does about our past. We're proud to keep investing in Maine—in our people, our mills, our manufacturing capabilities, our communities, and the professional builders who shape them. From grow- ing pine to making boards, trusses, wall panels, and framing packages, there's a common thread running through 178 years of Hancock Lumber history: Rooted in Maine since 1848. Building for generations to come. Hancock Lumber Company Info W W W. H A N C O C K L U M B E R .
