Membership in the MSR Lumber Producers Council is open to all companies and individuals interested in further the purposes of the association and growing the MSR lumber industry.

Established in 1987, the MSR Lumber Producers Council represents the interests of machine stress rated lumber producers in the manufacturing, marketing, promotion, utilization, and technical aspects of MSR lumber. With more than four dozen regular and associate members, including the largest MSR lumber producers in North America, our association serves an industry that produces more than 1.5 billion board feet of MSR lumber annually in North America. Emphasizing its higher quality, longer spans, and better lifetime performance, we seek to promote the benefits of using MSR lumber and expand the markets for its use.
