WE'IIE CHANGED OUR NAME. PERIOD.
Now that we are no longer part of The Bendix Corporation, we've changed our name back to the American Forest Products Company. That doesn't mean we've changed our policies or our plans for the future.
We've been making and marketing quality wood and wood products for over seventy years. We're planning now for the next seventy.
We are proud of our reputation f or responsible management of 170,000 acres of premium forests. We are proud of our efficient logging operations and integrated manufacturing plants, and of the quality products they make.
We are proud of the way our sales and distribution people give our customers eff icient and personal servrce.
We're not going to change any of that. Except to improve it. lmprovements to our products and services, yes. Changes in our business philosophy, no. We are the once and future American Forest Products Company.
