Pacific Firs was established in 1999, built on the values of hard work and teamwork. Initially, the
company focused on manufacturing pallets, but it has since expanded to produce small dimensional
lumber. Our products serve customers in the local community of Central Oregon, as well as areas as far
south as Phoenix, Arizona, and as far southwest as Hawaii. Today, our team of over 20 employees takes
great pride in our local community and is dedicated to producing some of the highest quality small-
dimensional lumber products in the Pacific Northwest.
