Northern Industrial Secures Major Contract for Western Rail Expansion
July 15, 2025 | Seattle, WA
Northern Industrial, LLC, a leading supplier of specialized industrial wood products, has been awarded a multi-year contract to supply a significant volume of railroad ties and bridge timbers for a major rail infrastructure expansion project spanning several states in the Western United States.
Supplying Critical Infrastructure
The contract underscores Northern Industrial's capability to meet the stringent quality and volume demands of large-scale infrastructure projects. The company will be providing ties treated to meet American Railway Engineering and Maintenance-of-Way Association (AREMA) standards, ensuring maximum durability and service life under heavy load conditions.
"This contract is a testament to the quality and reliability of our industrial wood products," said Marcus Chen, Director of Sales & Marketing. "Our strategic location and efficient logistics network, which includes direct rail access, allow us to reliably supply critical materials to large-scale projects across the country. We are proud to play a role in strengthening the nation's rail infrastructure."
Logistics and Production Impact
To fulfill the contract, Northern Industrial will be optimizing its production schedule to focus on its specialized railroad tie and industrial stock line. The company's ability to source high-density species like Douglas Fir and Western Hemlock, combined with its precision sawing capabilities, made it the ideal partner for the project.
The contract is expected to stabilize and increase production volume over the next three years, securing jobs and further investing in the company's operational capacity.
