Wood Products Development Program



ANCA’s Wood Products Development Program is staffed by Carl Golas. For more than a decade he has provided technical assistance services to primary and secondary wood products companies with the goal of increasing value-added processing in the Adirondack North Country region. In addition, ANCA has partnered with Holmes and Associates of Saranac Lake on regional planning, business development and marketing services for wood based companies.

During 2006 ANCA is in the process of making significant revisions to the 1992 Forest Service publication: A Marketing Guide for Manufacturers and Entrepreneurs of Secondary-Processed Wood Products. The 1992 Guide was listed 16th on the top 25 forest products publications of the Forest Service: http://www.fpl.fs.fed.us/tmu/top_25.html.

To be most useful, the 2007 marketing guide must be hands-on, reality-based, and focused on the most efficient, cost-effective marketing tips for small wood products producers throughout the U.S. To that end, ANCA is looking for case studies of especially successful marketing efforts in the wood products industry. ANCA staff and consultants are calling wood product development programs and wood product companies in all parts of the United States.

If you have a success story or a lessons-learned example that relates to the marketing of wood products, we would love to hear about it. If you are you aware of any other wood product marketing success stories or other learning experiences in your area that we could follow-up on with the business owner or with the organization that provided the assistance, please contact us at ANCA 518.891.6200, anca@northnet.org or Holmes and Associates at 518.891.6525, holmes@adirondackresearch.com
