Lamboo partnership with Western Structures

Lamboo Inc. has partnered with Western Structures, the leader in providing glulam beams and other structural building materials for the US and Eastern Asian commercial construction market. Western Structures, Inc. established in 1989, is a manufacturer of custom, top-quality glulam beams now offering Lamboo as a new species selection. Western Structures says, “Glulams made with Lamboo components will be “off the charts” in terms of strength and durability.”

Western has carved a name for themselves among builders, architects and developers all over the world.  Western Structures products can be found in high profile projects and residences across the United States. In Japan, where quality is revered and demanded, Western is the leading US exporter of custom beams.  

A Lamboo glulam is a beautiful structural component, devoid of knots but rich with color and character.  Western Structures is able to manufacture virtually any size or length of this product and are confident that a structure made with Lamboo will be in a class all by itself.

 

Western Structures is an APA certified mill.  Western is also approved for other markets including Japan’s JAS Certification.  Their entire production line is geared to deliver the best quality product within an industry-leading turnaround time. The facility, based in Eugene, Oregon, is both flexible and efficient.  Since 1989 Western has continuously upgraded their equipment, added new machinery and expanded the original footprint of the plant.
