“With the growing trends for timber in construction and the increasing demand for wood products, we are excited by the opportunities for Accoya USA,” said Brad Lich, executive vice president and chief commercial officer of Eastman. “Accoya offers unrivaled performance in outdoor applications, providing sustainable and durable solutions that meet the evolving needs of consumers and builders alike.”

“We’re so excited for customers to start receiving Accoya batches manufactured in Tennessee, which allows us to provide faster delivery and enhance reliability and service,” said Rod Graf, general manager of Accoya USA. “The production team is well set to produce Accoya to the same high-performance standards the market is accustomed to.”
