GRAND RAPIDS, Mich.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–UFP Industries, Inc.

UFP Retail Solutions is a business segment of UFP Industries that produces ProWood pressure-treated lumber, Deckorators composite decking and accessories, UFP-Edge siding and trim products, and Outdoor Essentials fence and garden products. Landon currently serves as vice president of Deckorators.

Landon joined UFP Industries in 2002 as an account manager and advanced into roles of increasing responsibility, including senior account manager and sales manager, before becoming general manager of the company’s plant in Harrisonville, Missouri.
