| DiPrizio Pine Sales Honored by New Hampshire Timberland Group | 2008-05-27 |
The New Hampshire Timberland Owners Association (NHTOA) honored DiPrizio Pine Sales in Middleton, New Hampshire during its May 3rd annual meeting in Gilford, New Hampshire. DiPrizio Pine Sales was named the Outstanding Forest Industry by the Association, which recognizes superior business management, efficiency and productivity of operation and quality and marketing of product in a New Hampshire-based wood-using industry.
DiPrizio Pine Sales was started by the DiPrizio family in 1932. Prior to getting into the lumber business the DiPrizio's were masons and had a retail masonry shop out of their homes in the Middleton area. Following a hurricane in 1932, the DiPrizio family got into the sawmill business using a portable mill to clean up debris. The mill finally came to rest at its current location in 1952.
The mill has had a long history of improvements and modifications to where it is currently sawing between 15 and 16 MMBF/year. Of that lumber volume approximately 25 percent of it goes to their own retail locations (Middleton Building Supply) and between the two companies they employ 122 people (DiPrizio employs 51 people).
In addition to making lumber, DiPrizio Pine Sales is also a good corporate citizen - recently donating time and materials for a park in downtown Alton, NH.
