Tropical Forest Products announced that its Black Label premium brand of Ipe and other tropical hardwoods will expand throughout California as part of a distribution partnership with Ganahl Lumber, a dealer of building materials.

Black Label lumber products are now in stock at Ganahl Lumber and other products — including branded fasteners — will arrive over the next few months. Based in Anaheim, Ganahl will distribute the full line of Black Label products through its 10 California branch locations.

Black Label is sustainably and 100% legally sourced from South America. Trees used to produce Black Label products are carefully selected, considering age, size, and productive wellbeing of the forest. The brands’ lumber portfolio consists of Ipe, Cumaru, Jatoba, Garapa, Angelim and Tigerwood, with a variety of applications ranging from decking, cladding, and ceilings to timber sizes and architectural millwork.

“The level of support we have received for the Black Label brand rates as some of the best in the industry, in my experience,” said Deonn DeFord, product manager, Ganahl Lumber.

To earn the name Black Label, every board and hardware accessory must be Premium Architectural Grade or above.

Tropical Forest Products is owned and operated by Lumber Decking, bringing over 10 years as a trusted lumber supplier in North America.
