As we step into 2025, we’re reminded of how far we’ve come since our founding in 1999. Last year, we celebrated 25 incredible years of advancing research, driving innovation, and empowering future leaders in the forest products industry.

This group photo from our 25th-anniversary celebration is a perfect reminder of the amazing people—our industry members, university partners, and students—who make the Wood-Based Composites Center (WBC) what it is today. 🤝✨

This year, we’re continuing the journey with renewed energy:
✔️ Developing innovative research that shapes the future.
✔️ Supporting and inspiring the next generation of leaders in our industry.
✔️ Evolving the continuing education of wood composite professionals.

Here’s to making 2025 another year of progress and impact together!

Thank you to everyone who’s been part of our story so far. We can’t wait to share more with you throughout the year!
