Vaagen Timbers
Description
🌲 Rooted in Legacy. Driven by Purpose. Building a Better Future.
At Vaagen Timbers, wood isn’t just a material — it’s in our DNA. Founder and CEO Russ Vaagen continues a legacy dating back to 1952 with his family’s multi-generational forest products business.
Vaagen turns sustainably sourced **small-log timber** from **forest thinning**—a crucial process done to reduce wildfire risk—into premium **cross-laminated timber (CLT)** and **glue-laminated timber (GLT)** products.
🌳 Our Mission: Building a Movement
Our mission is bold: to **restore 10 million acres of North American forest by 2035**. Every beam and panel we deliver brings us closer. Choosing Vaagen Timbers means creating beautiful, strong, and versatile timber projects while supporting **healthier forests, stronger communities, and a sustainable built environment.** We believe the spaces where people live, work, and play should reflect a deeper connection to nature. Vaagen Timber products are that connection with a story of regeneration, resilience, and responsibility.
