RHINELANDER - Continued tic encased coin returns to the community for the auction every year. Rather than growth, Hanke’s major goal for the company at this point, is to make it through the recession, manufacturing the highest quality door in the industry, limited only by his pocketbook. “Once a company’s too big, contact with customers gets lost. They think they’re a number instead of a name.” Hanke is one-on-one with 90 percent of his customers, who appreciate the attention and become customers for life.

After the training is completed, additional inspections will then be required until two consecutive inspections are passed. This certification program is important to our industry because it offers comprehensive criteria by which all companies can manufacture and grade their products. For the wood flooring purchaser, this certification program is important because it offers the assurance that the wood flooring being purchased meets or exceeds the NOFMA standards for grade, configuration, moisture content, and average board length. NWFA trained mill inspectors will conduct mandatory quality control inspections twice a year to verify that the manufacturing and grading standards of the program are being met. A list of all the companies that currently are NOFMA Certified Mills is available on the NWFA’s web site at www.nwfa.org, under the “Hot Industry Issues” link. The NOFMA Mill Certification program currently is available to manufacturers in the United States only; however, the NOFMA Standards Committee is researching the possibility of expanding the program to include manufacturers in both Canada and Mexico as well. Eventually, the hope is that the program can be expanded on an international basis to include the entire, global wood flooring industry. To receive more information about the NWFA NOFMA Mill Certification Program, or to find out how your company can participate to become a NOFMA Certified Mill, contact the NWFA at 800-422-4556 in the USA, 800-848-8824 in Canada, or 636-519- 9663 locally and internationally.

These plant tours provide WCMA members with a unique opportunity to observe innovative woodworking manufacturing operations and discover new manufacturing techniques, exchange ideas and learn about alternative manufacturing methods. In conjunction with our Fall Conference, we also hold a Wood Technology Expo, designed to encourage more interaction between WCMA Technology Partners and Member companies. WCMA Technology Partners are a select group of manufacturers of woodworking machinery, equipment, software and business solutions who exhibit at this Wood Technology Expo. These companies discuss their latest technological advancements that offer solutions to wood processing challenges for dimension and component manufacturers. Manufacturers of materials handling, gluing equipment, dust collection, fingerjointers, moulders, planers, cut-off and rip saws, routers, tenoners, CNC machinery, dry kilns, optimizing equipment, finishing systems, yield improvement systems, tooling, software and business solutions are represented. Industry Research and Market Studies The WCMA conducts a number of proprietary technical and market studies to help our members identify new markets and improve their company’s competitive position. WCMA members rely on the annual WCMA Dimension & Component Market Study to keep them informed of current business conditions and industry trends. This study reveals end-use markets for dimension and components, species and grades of lumber used, type of components produced for both domestic and export markets, and future outlook for sales, net income, material and labor costs, and capital expenditures. The Wage & Benefit and Cost-of-Doing- Business Surveys allow members to compare their costs of doing business and wage & benefit structures with other member companies. These valuable studies are the only ones conducted for the wood component industry and are available to all participating WCMA members free of charge. Industry Representation The WCMA has joined forces with other industry organizations to promote and protect the interests of the wood component industry. We are a founding member of the Hardwood Council, which promotes the desirability and advantages of wood products over non-wood products. The WCMA is also a member of the Hardwood Federation who represents the interests of all Hardwood producers regarding legislative and regulatory matters. The WCMA represents over 140 wood component manufacturers and 40 Technology Partners that produce products for the cabinet, furniture, millwork, flooring, building products, and related decorative wood product industries. These products are made from Hardwoods, softwoods, and engineered wood materials. Member companies are located throughout the United States and Canada. We invite all dimension and component manufacturers to take advantage of these programs and opportunities by joining the WCMA under our special discounted dues program.
