COVID-19 Update

In accordance with recommendations set forth by the CDC, American Internal Forest Products is taking responsible action to curb the spread of the COVID-19 virus.

As of Monday, March 16^th, we have instituted a change to our daily operations in which half of our staff will work remotely while the other works in the office on a rotating schedule. We would like to reassure our customers and mills that there will not be any disruption in our services and support of your business. These measures have been implemented to maintain the health of our employees and to promote responsible social distancing.

Until further notice, AIFP will continue to operate in this manner. Thank you for your understanding and feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
