Starfire Lumber Co. was incorporated on February 9, 1983. My grandfather and the company’s founder, Francis D. Engle, purchased an old cedar mill in the small community of Cottage Grove, Oregon. Dedicated to his vision, my grandfather invested heavily in improving every facet of the production process. With his steady leadership and ability to encourage others to share his vision, Starfire Lumber Co. became one of the most innovative and respected sawmills in the world.

Thirty years later, on June 17, 2013, I was honored and humbled when my grandfather named me Starfire’s third President & CEO. With this new era, I continue to honor my grandfather’s vision. Today, Starfire Lumber remains the leader in premier Douglas Fir timbers and high-quality lumber products.

Our bright orange logo remains a symbol of quality. Starfire will continue to provide the high-quality wood products that have been used worldwide since 1983.
