COVER STORY – Martco Chopin Doesn’t Rest On Its Laurels

A force in southern forest products for more than 95 years, the Martin family has done a little bit of everything. But there’s one line of business, aside from forest management, that has outlasted them all – southern pine plywood.

The Chopin facility is the largest operating SYP plywood facility in the world, thanks to its monster production of 510MMSF on a 3/8 in. basis in 2018. And the Chopin team was just recognized by APA – The Engineered Wood Association as the safest plywood plant in North America for a record-breaking seventh time.
