Hello there, I own a small company that uses sheets of .75" Baltic Birch plywood in manufacturing of our products. Our current 2016 spend on this material is already over $100,000 and I'm forecasting 50-60% growth in 2017. I have used a few small local suppliers so far (lumber yards), but I get the feeling that I'm still greatly overpaying when I look at my how small my "volume" discount is vs standard pricing.

I'm curious if anyone here would be able to give me any leads on a supplier who could offer me solid wholesale pricing on large quantities of plywood. I know there is a lot of expertise & experience on these forums so I figured it would be worthwhile to ask.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: Forgot to add, I'm in Austin, TX

One of the main importers has a distribution warehouse in Houston http://www.balticbirch.com/about-us.html. There are plenty of other importers. I suspect if you look for the main importers, they'll only be too happy to give you contact info for Texas distribution or direct quotes

Have you tried Dakota Hardwoods in SE Austin?
I think that it would be worth your while to call ... Ron Mazzarella @ 512-497-4543 ... and have a chit-chat.

Thanks! Just got off the phone with them and they were able to save me a massive amount of money. Very thankful for the referral Andy.
