Competition

Competitive Landscape for USG Corporation
Demand for lumber and plywood is strongly affected by the level of residential real estate construction. Only the largest companies have more than 100 employees, while the typical wholesaler has only 10. National and regional wholesalers usually have several offices that serve local customers. Most companies operate locally, serving local customers and buying from local mills. Large wholesalers are more likely to serve large customers, with operations in multiple markets. To read the full description, subscribe now.
