2017 STATE FACT SHEET 1894 The Seed is Planted... 1,300 Employees Just as our roots in forestry have shaped our approach to sustainability, our focus on trees has shaped our relationship with the environment. As stewards of limited natural resources, we use all of the tree – whether for fiber or energy. That ethic of total utilization of the resource extends to recovery and recycling of chemicals from treatment processes. Langdale led the forest products industry in switching from oil to water-based treatment products in the 1960s. We have generated our own energy at our wood-fired dry kilns since the 1950s. 1894 The Seed is Planted... John Wesley Langdale expands the turpentine aspect of business which becomes the Company’s foundation. 1,300 Employees 2,210 Additional Jobs Created Community leader in workforce development programs, teacher appreciation and community health collaborations that improve access and lower health care costs. 200,000 Acres Sustainable Forests The Langdale Company’s evolution from the first acre to today has followed an unceasing quest to make the most of limited natural and human resources via innovation. Since the 1930s, the company has planted more trees than it harvested, and in 2009, planted its One Hundred Millionth seedling. Progressive environmental stewardship provides wildlife habitat, clean air and clean water.
