MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

MESSAGE FROM OUR PRESIDENT

Forest City Trading Group

When Richmond International Forest Products first opened our doors in 1982, we were a small southern pine trading company. Now a handful of decades later, we are proud to say that we have grown into a diverse multi-product global business that only keeps growing and expanding. Our company’s growth is rooted in our strong customer relationships, reliability and exemplary work ethics that result in the needs of customers being met and exceeded time and again.


As we move forward to whatever the future holds, at RIFP we know it is bright entirely because of our team and the support they give each other. We measure our success by that of our partners and believe that when they succeed, we succeed.
