Good traders never stop learning.

Our Trader Trainees recently spent time at a local mill, continuing to build their understanding of the products, processes, and people that make our industry work. The small insights gained through experiences like these often become the knowledge that helps them better navigate markets, support customers, and grow in their careers.

That’s why we believe there’s value in staying close to every part of the supply chain.

A few moments from last spring & summer 🤝

Field trips with the team, checking in with our partners, and showing our interns what the “lumber” in lumber trading really looks like—plus a few team celebrations along the way.

We’re excited to welcome a new group, get our boots on the ground, and do it all again.

Let’s run it back.

This week, AIFP and AR came together for our annual meeting to reflect on a year of growth, change, and collaboration.

Over the past year, we’ve navigated evolving markets and meaningful transitions—staying true to our mission to move with speed, insight, and determination while delivering value at every step of the supply chain. Watching our two companies elevate one another along the way has been something truly special.

As we look ahead to 2026, we’re energized and focused on our vision: to be a trusted, best-in-class partner delivering solutions that stand the test of time. More driven than ever to serve our customers and partners with excellence.

Proud of our people. Excited for what’s next.

The first week of the new year is officially in the books, and it reflects everything 2025 represented for us.

This past year was about bringing AIFP and AR together—two teams, one roof, one shared purpose. The way our people showed up, collaborated, and committed to making this transition successful speaks volumes about the strength of our organization.

The effort across both teams made this integration seamless, and the foundation built in 2025 has positioned us strongly as we look ahead.
