ANTHONY EACOM

The Power of Two

Anthony Forest Products Company and EACOM Timber Corporation formed a joint venture to manufacture and distribute Power Joist® - a high quality solid flange I-joist. This value-added product upholds EACOM’s and Anthony’s commitment to using lumber to its highest strength potential, while also offering an environmentally sound alternative to large dimension lumber joists.

Besides their financial contribution to the 50-50 partnership, Anthony and EACOM bring unique skills to the venture. EACOM supplies the plant with high quality MSR lumber in 1650 and 2100 grades. Anthony adds its expertise in mill management, renowned customer service infrastructure, Power Products family, and nationwide distribution network.
