IMPACTFUL BUSINESS TOOLS AND RESOURCES
There are some co-ops that are focused solely on group purchase advantages. Not LMC. With us, you have the benefit of cooperative purchasing power, PLUS access to proprietary market intelligence, marketing support, along with resources and tools that help you optimize and grow your business.

INSIGHT AND STRATEGIES THAT MINIMIZE RISK AND MAXIMIZE PROFITS
Our in-house experts and product specialists are an extension of your team—relentlessly focused on helping you achieve your goals. They continuously analyze market conditions and provide short-and-long term forecasts, so you make smart decisions and purchase strategically.

NETWORKING OPPORTUNITIES WITH THE BEST IN THE INDUSTRY
Throughout the year, we host best-in-industry forums, roundtables, and regional meetings where you learn from each other, discuss shared challenges, share best practices, and create solutions. For our 21st Century Leaders, we bring in presenters from outside the industry to teach and inspire.

RELIABLE ACCESS TO TOP-QUALITY PRODUCTS—AT THE RIGHT PRICE
The LMC team develops unique purchasing strategies along with a drive to remove unnecessary cost from the supply chain. You buy at the right time, and the right price, maximizing profitability.
VOLUME SPEAKS VOLUMES
LMC is the largest Forest Products and Building Materials Cooperative in the country purchasing over 7 billion dollars for the best independent dealers in the industry. As a co-op our job is to manage the volume of our members to gain benefits they could not achieve on their own. LMC Dealers understand this concept and choose to build volume to support one co-op vs. many.
