North Star was Weekes first acquisition back in 1986. It is the only pure wood commodity focused operation in our company. North Star’s value proposition is to buy rail car quantities of Douglas Fir/Larch, Western SPF, Eastern SPF and Southern Yellow Pine species in #2 visual grade and machine stress rated (MSR) structural grades of 1650, 2100, 2400, 2700 and 2850 and bring it into our Saint Paul, MN, Riverdale, IL, and Gonzales, TX distribution centers. We then sell it to retail dealers, truss and panel plants in highly mixed truckload quantities for faster just in time delivery.

Our Products
North Star sells framing and MSR lumber, plywood and OSB (when available) to retail lumber dealers and truss manufacturing plants across a 500-mile geography, a much larger trade area than our DC’s typically service. Unique to NSFM we allow customers to specify tallies they prefer and purchase from us.
