Accsys, the global leader in high-performance wood, has announced a strategic partnership with Hardwoods Specialty Products USLP, a division of ADENTRA Inc., to enhance the distribution of its flagship Accoya wood in North America. This collaboration will expand the availability of Accoya across the Western United States, including regions such as Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, Hawaii, California, and Arizona, in response to increasing demand for sustainable and high-performance building materials.
Hardwoods Specialty Products USLP is one of North America’s largest distributors of architectural building materials, with a robust distribution network spanning across the United States and Canada.

This partnership marks a major milestone for Accsys as part of its North American growth strategy. “Hardwoods’ exceptional scale and service excellence will allow us to expand our customer base significantly while meeting the rising demand for sustainable building materials,” said Sergio Munhoz, Sales Director for Accsys North America. “With our new production facility in Kingsport, Tennessee, we’re proud to offer locally manufactured Accoya wood, which is a testament to our commitment to providing high-quality, reliable, and sustainable wood products.”
The opening of the Accoya USA plant in Kingsport, Tennessee, in 2024 has already had a noticeable impact on demand for Accoya in North America. The company reported a 16% increase in sales volumes year-over-year, underlining the growing interest in Accoya as a premier choice for environmentally-conscious builders and designers. Through this collaboration with Hardwoods Specialty Products, Accsys is poised to reach even more customers, particularly in the Western U.S., where demand for sustainable wood products is rapidly growing.
Accoya wood stands out in the market for its exceptional durability, dimensional stability, and sustainability.

Accoya offers a 50-year warranty above ground and a 25-year warranty when in-ground or exposed to freshwater, making it a long-lasting solution for a wide range of building applications. In addition to its sustainability credentials, Accoya is prized for its versatility in construction. It is ideally suited for windows, doors, decking, and siding, offering architects and builders a premium material option that outperforms traditional timber. Its superior properties in terms of stability and durability make it a prime choice for exterior applications that demand both aesthetic appeal and long-term performance.
The Western United States represents a significant market for sustainable and high-performance wood products, and this strategic partnership will enable Accoya to better serve this growing demand. “Accoya is one of the leading modified wood products globally, known for its outstanding reputation in terms of quality, performance, and sustainability,” said Nick Smith, Regional Vice President of Hardwoods West. “By adding Accoya to our product offering, we’re reinforcing our commitment to offering premium outdoor living products.
