Appalachian Hardwood Manufacturers, Inc.

The mission of Appalachian Hardwood Manufacturers, Inc. is to assist you in making the best decision for your hardwood needs. AHMI is a 200-member trade association headquartered in High Point, N.C., the Furniture Capital of the World, and our goal is the promotion of logs, lumber and products from Appalachian Mountain region. There are four characteristics that make Appalachian Hardwoods stand above hardwood lumber resources. Since the 1920s when hardwood from this region began to make a name for itself, Appalachian Hardwoods have: come from a sustainable forest; consistent grain patterns, color and durability; increased yield for manufacturers; and been made in the United States of America. This tradition continues eight decades later as Appalachian Oaks, Cherry, Maple and Poplar set the standard for thousands of products and materials across the world. Slow maturity means tight growth rings, strong fibers and consistent grain patterns which give Appalachian lumber its coveted beauty, strength and durability. With so many elements working together, it's not surprising that Appalachian lumber sets the standard in thousands of products and materials around the globe.
