Rooted in Legacy. Driven by Purpose. Building a Better Future.

At Vaagen Timbers, wood isn’t just a material — it’s in our DNA. Our 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—done to reduce wildfire risk—into premium cross-laminated and glue laminated timber products.

But we’re not just making mass timber - we’re building a movement. Our mission is bold: 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.

Join us — build with purpose, protect our forests, and let’s grow stronger communities.
