MADE IN VALPARAISO | ARCH WOOD PROTECTION, INC. >> Expanding SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS Arch Wood Protection, Inc.’s products are a key component in the drive to lengthen the lifespan of wood structures in Our Backyard By Haleigh Vander Vinne Wood is all around us – used in construction of houses, decks, telephone lines, and railroads – and lying exposed to Mother Nature’s wrath. Rain, fungi, mold, and insects threaten a piece of wood’s life. Treated lumber is used when wood will be in contact with the ground or concrete to protect it from said threats. This treated, or Wolmanized®, lumber you see stocked at home improvement stores is pressure treated with a chemical compound made by Arch Wood Protection, Inc., located right here in Valparaiso. Protecting Wood from the Elements Arch Wood Protection, Inc. is a small specialty wood preservative business, a subsidiary of Arxada, a global full-service supplier of microbial control and similar specialty products. “We’re a big company, but this particular facility is very much like a small, family-owned company, just because of the way the people operate,” said David Newton, Arch Wood Protection, Inc.’s production manager.

Wolmanized® lumber can withstand the elements longer and hold up against insects, fungi, and mold that would normally tear apart a wood structure. Valparaiso Was Always Arxada’s Top Choice for Growth Arch Wood Protection, Inc. was a small wood preservative subsidiary of Lonza, a global partner to the pharmaceutical, biotech and nutrition markets, until a few years ago when they were split off to become part of a new company called Arxada. This separation launched an investment into the growth of the Valparaiso location. “For any kind of new development that is considered within the company, Valparaiso was always the top >> L to R: Therese Bruszewski, Craig Culver, Ron Walters, Greg Kent, Kenny Wilson, David Newton | ValpoChamber.org 11
