Wichita Lumber for Any Application
Finding a reliable source of lumber in the Wichita area can be a challenge, and that’s why so many people come to Conner. We provide thousands of wood products to many different industries, such as HVAC, consumer goods manufacturers, and the chemical industry, just to name a few. Whether you’re looking for softwoods, like southern yellow pine, or hardwoods such as poplar or maple, Conner offers wholesale dimensional lumber, panels, cut pallet parts, ISPM15 certified wood, and more.
We’re able to offer such a wide variety of wood products because our lumber traders search for great buys from hardwood saw mills all over the country every single day. Conner also maintains contracts with many of the largest softwood producers in North America, which means you can leverage our buying power to get the best deal possible to meet your wood needs.
Wholesale Lumber & Panels
At the Valley Center Plant, near Wichita, Kansas, we maintain a large stock of both wholesale lumber and panels. Not only do we work hard to meet the needs of customers in the Wichita area, but we also deliver Wichita lumber throughout Kansas and the United States.
For truckload volume users, we get the best prices possible on mill direct shipments for our customers because we’ve developed relationships with wood producers all over the country. That gives you the opportunity to take advantage of our buying power to get a good deal on wholesale wood products.
Hardwood Products
Hardwoods, such as oak, maple, or poplar, are often used in applications where a stronger, denser wood is required. This is often due to the weight of the item being transported. Unfortunately, hardwoods can often be difficult to obtain for some wood manufacturers – but not for Conner.
With an extensive group of hardwood producer partners to provide custom cut products to our customers, we’ve built and maintained strong relationships with hardwood mills for decades. Even when hardwoods are difficult to acquire because the demand is high, Conner still delivers the hardwood products you need when you need them.
Sawn Lumber & Panels
We’ve been re-manufacturing Wichita lumber into sawn lumber and panel components since 1981. In that time, we’ve become an industry leader in low cost production strategies and deploying the most efficient methods of production, which allows us to process large volumes of wood very economically. As a result, we convert raw materials into thousands of sawn products that are used by a wide variety of customers.
Whether it’s a large volume order, or a smaller production run, our Lean Manufacturing principals help us to keep costs down.
Banding Groove
Banding groove is something that is used on a lot of unit loads to protect the top of each unit. Most unit loads are secured with some kind of strapping or banding, but unfortunately that same strapping can also damage the units. That’s where banding groove comes in. Not only does it protect individual units from the tension of the banding, but it can also help provide clearance for fork tines on the bottom of those units.
Best of all, banding groove keeps the strapping from moving around.
Conner has special production lines designed to rip, groove, trim, and stamp banding groove in a single pass. This kind of efficiency means we can pass those cost savings on to you and turnaround your order of Wichita lumber quickly.
Wholesale Pallet Cut Parts
For over 35 years, we’ve been supplying pallet recyclers and pallet manufacturers with the notched stringers and deck boards they need to both make their own pallets or replace broken parts on their current pallets inventory. For Conner, no order is too big or too small when it comes to pallet cut parts.
We can single units or full truckloads of pallet parts, but we can also put together “kit” quantities so that you’ll have the precise combination of components you need to produce the pallets you need for your application. Our “kit” quantities allow you to focus your resources on assembling more products.
We have a large variety of Wichita lumber available, but it’s not the only thing we offer. Check out our Wichita pallets and Wichita crates too!
