All Under One Roof

Our facilities operate nine conventional kilns and one high-efficiency vacuum kiln for a total drying capacity of over 12 million bft per year. All of the hardwood product waste or wood residue that is processed at the facilities is recycled into fuel for use in our boilers to produce the heat needed for our kiln-drying operations.
To complement the drying operations, DZD’s dry storage area has over 2 million bft of storage capacity for the kiln-dried hardwood lumber with four large loading docks for maintaining control of the hardwood lumber and easy access until the premier hardwood lumber is loaded into a container for distribution to our customers.
DZD’s computerized grading facility allows our team of skilled and certified lumber graders to evaluate the uniformity and quality of each piece of hardwood lumber according to the universal NHLA (National Hardwood Lumberman Association) industry standards ensuring that our customers are consistently receiving the best quality of hardwood lumber that is available on the market.
