States Industries manufactures hardwood and softwood veneer products for wholesale and retail distribution throughout the US and Canada. The company, which was founded in 1966, produces natural wood veneered panels for residential wall paneling applications and industrial panels for manufacturers of cabinets, furniture, store fixtures, and architectural interiors. States Industries sells its products through retail stores, wholesale distributors, and directly to large wood product manufacturers. Mounting debt and declining sales forced States Industries to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in 2010. Shortly after, it was acquired by leading creditor Renwood Opportunities Fund for nearly $20 million.

Tembec is the little mill that could -- and did. Rescued by workers from a shuttered mill in 1973, the forest products company today maintains significant operations in the US, Canada, and France. Through about 30 manufacturing facilities it produces pulp, paper, paperboard, lumber, and chemicals from the by-products of its pulping process; these products are marketed worldwide. Tembec's pulp unit, the company's largest group, accounts for more than half of sales. Its wood products unit sells SPF (spruce-pine-fir) lumber and hardwood flooring products primarily in North America. Tembec also manages forest land in four Canadian provinces. Outside of North America, it has sales offices in Asia.
