Company Info
RY Timber operates two sawmills, one located in Townsend and the second mill in Livingston, Montana. The Company is considered to be one of the leading suppliers of high quality 2x4studs. RY Timber first became a reality when Ron Yanke of Boise, Idaho purchased Sequoia Forest Industries from the Wickes Company over twenty years ago. The Townsend sawmill came with the Wickes purchase and in 1996 the Livingston operation was acquired. RY's Montana mills produce 16% of all the structural lumber that is manufactured in the State of Montana.

The following is a reply from RY Lumber to our question – "Are your products Made in America?"

How do you know the products you have listed are Made in the USA?
Before including products in our database we review the advertiser’s website and/or contact them to ascertain the origin of their products. Some advertisers sell both Made in USA products and foreign ones. Therefore we highly recommend you review FAQ 2.

We immediately investigate any complaints regarding deceptive Country of Origin claims. If we determine an advertiser's claim is not truthful we will immediately remove the product/s from our database and suspend our relationship with the Company making the claim.

To document your complaint, email us by using our Contact Us page. We can only respond to complaints that have been submitted in writing.

What does Made in USA mean?
There is no law requiring most products to be labeled Made In USA, or have any other disclosure about the amount of U.S. content. However, for job creation purposes (see our Big Secret tab), if you have a choice between an imported product and one with no country of origin on its label, choose the product without a country of origin over the imported one. This is true because the product without the country origin on its label has at least some American labor in its content and the imported one most likely does not.

Note: Imported products are required by law to country of origin on their label and products partially Made In USA do not. To answer this question completely reviewing our Labeling Tips 1, 2 & 3. These tips are accessible from scrolling to the bottom of our home page clicking Browse All Tips button.
