84 Lumber named Southeast Forest Products as the dealer’s 2020 Vendor of the Year. The vendor of the year is annually awarded based on various factors, including sales growth and “above-and-beyond” service, according to 84 Lumber.
According to a news release, Southeast Forest Products significantly grew sales with 84 Lumber while maintaining solid lead times. Southeast’s business is up 80% and its lead time is the lowest of all of 84 Lumber’s suppliers, according to the dealer.

They work hard to support our dedicated store associates, and they proactively communicate information consistently and efficiently.”
Southeast Forest Products is a producer of pressure treated lumber headquartered in Montgomery, Ala. The company operates facilities in Louisville, Ala., Nauvoo, Ala., and Richmond, Ind.
“We highly value our partnership with 84 Lumber and are very humbled and honored to be recognized as the 2020 Vendor of the Year,” Southeast Forest Products owner Guice Slawson said. “We consistently strive to provide our customers with quality products and excellent service; anytime, anywhere.”
