“Business as Usual” at Puhoswood

The recent acquisition of the iLevel Trus Joist business in Europe by Finnforest obviously impacts upon all companies with partnering arrangements with iLevel Trus Joist.

Andy Moore, managing director of Puhoswood comments:
“Right now it’s business as usual at Puhoswood, arrangements having been made with Finnforest to secure a seamless supply service to distributors and customers during the transition process”

Over the last few years, Puhoswood Limited, the pioneer and market leading manufacturer of weather protected flooring systems, developed a close partnership with iLevel Trus Joist in the supply of flooring systems for housebuilders. This focused on combining the Weather Dek range of flooring panels with iLevel Trus Joist’s engineered TJI’s. In 2003, Puhoswood was appointed as a second wholesaler to iLevel Trus Joist and took sole responsibility as supply partner in 2006.

“Longer term, we naturally need to evaluate the best opportunities in our highly competitive marketplace for the continued success of our customers, distributors and the team at Puhoswood,” says Andy Moore.

“Our valuable relationship with iLevel Trus Joist has been a relatively recent element in the long and consistently successful history of the Puhos brand and our growing value added Weather Dek2, Dek Shield and other flooring system product ranges.

“Maintaining that success is primarily dependent upon pursuing our own core values of high quality, innovation, independent partnerships and a clear focus on customer solutions and service. These values place us in a strong position to continue building on our leadership role in the industry.”
