Alderfer and KWPA
Alderfer Lumber Company decided to support the KWPA and become a member because one of KWPA’s goals is to promote, market and facilitate the sales of PA’s forest products. “Our immediate area does not have a lot of businesses that do what we do”, says John, “We are the best hidden secret around!” Alderfer works with some of the other KWPA members and hopes that more of them become aware of what they do at Alderfer and build working relationships together.
Alderfer Lumber Company is a great asset to KWPA’s membership. They create jobs in the lumber industry workforce, promote sales of PA based hardwoods and do their part in being respectful to the environment by doing things like burning wood shavings to fuel their kilns. We encourage you to visit Alderfer Lumber Company (in person or online) and support their business.
