Our Commitment:
The three primary elements of our Company are Service, Quality, and Efficiency. Any goals we may set are only achievable through continual vigilance in these three areas. American Laminators maintains and emphasizes their importance in all aspects.
Our Experience:
American Laminators is one of the largest manufacturers of custom glued-laminated beams (glulam) in the United States. Our plant in Drain has been in continuous operation for more than forty years. The larger Swisshome facility was completed in 1979. The average tenure of the management is 20 years and the average for manufacturing personnel is 15 years. All this experience adds up to the best service and the finest products. We are committed to providing the best product and the best customer service in the glulam industry.
Our Product:
We manufacture a variety of glulam beams including roof and truss members, marina planking, purlins, custom curve work, floor joists, columns and headers. We manufacture our glulam from different species, primarily Douglas Fir (DF) and Alaskan Yellow Cedar (AYC). We are currently processing lamstock at a rate of about 12 million board feet or 0.7 million cubic feet per year. We offer a full range of glulam types, appearances and sizes. We can produce sizes up to 16 1/4" wide x 72" deep x 130'-0" long. Even larger sizes are possible. We have one of the largest rip saws in the industry which allows us to provide 2 1/2" and 1 1/2" widths more economically.
Renewable Resources:
We believe in our product. Beyond the proven features of strength, beauty, fire safety (generally better than steel) and durability, wood is one of our few renewable resources.
Our plants are FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certified through SmartWood. If your project requires FSC certification, let us know and we will be glad to help you out.
Our glulam beams are certified by APA-EWS and bear the APA-EWS Trademark.
