Bethlehem, Pa. – (December 3, 2018) – Eastern Engineered Wood Products, a wholesale distributor of structural wood products used in residential and light-commercial construction, announces a new Distribution Center in Emporia, VA.  The 15-acre parcel, in close proximity to Interstate 95 and US 58 in Southern Virginia, will expand the Company’s delivery footprint from Western Connecticut to North Carolina and include new large markets such as Washington DC; Richmond and Virginia Beach, VA; and Raleigh/Durham, Greensboro, and Wilmington, NC.

Similar to the model for its Distribution Center in Bethlehem, PA, the new location will be dedicated exclusively to the sale of Engineered Wood Products (EWP).  Eastern’s commitment to creating an exceptional customer experience ensures that customers can expect accurate, on-time delivery of pieces, job packs, or truckloads in one to two days.

Outside Sales Representatives Brian Johnson and Jeff McLaughlin, experienced EWP and industry veterans will lead the sales effort.  Representatives from Customer Service and Technical Services can be reached from 7:00 am to 5:00 pm Monday through Friday at 484-853-3100 or 800-700-4788.

… Eastern has always supported us with real service. Not only being on time with correct deliveries, but in helping us out with deliveries outside of their normal schedule, special pricing for competitive situations, and being flexible in working with us through the industry downturn. Most of all they have great people that can make decisions on their own or will get back to you promptly so you don’t have customers going elsewhere to get an answer. Many of their competitors have approached us since 1998 with strong offers to change our allegiance but Eastern has earned our loyalty. They are great business partners whom we are proud to deal with.
