FORGE LUMBER WINS PRO DEALER OF THE YEAR

CINCINNATI, OHIO – September 1, 2010 – Forge Lumber, a full-service lumber and construction services provider based in Cincinnati, has received esteemed recognition by earning the 2010 Independent Pro Dealer of the Year Award.

The annual award is selected by editors of Home Channel News and is designed to applaud a high-performance company with a commitment to best practices and the best values within the lumber and building materials industry. Recent recipients of the award command a presence nationwide.

Home Channel News was impressed with a 25% sales increase in 2009, despite extremely challenging conditions in the building material market—a rise that was unmatched by any independent dealer. They also noted that very few large pro dealers demonstrated that pace. In their own words, Home Channel News contends that, “Forge Lumber is a classic example of a company focused on the long term by gaining market share in a down economy.”

The editors also commented on Forge Lumber’s tagline, which summarizes their commitment to quality and accountability: We nail it, every time.

The Forge leadership team makes it clear that the company would not have been able to reach this impressive accomplishment without the commitment of all of their team members, support from their vendors, and the partnership of their valued customers. “We’re especially proud of the reputation we’ve built within our trade,” says Vice President Eric Steinman, “We exhaust ourselves in making sure everything is exactly right, that every detail is attended to. We’re delighted to be sharing this recognition with every partner who has helped us live up to our promise of excellence.”
