Wood packaging and framing construction using wood plays a key role in contributing to healthy markets, healthy forests and healthy communities. Wood is naturally renewable, sustainable, strong, durable, reusable and recyclable. Currently, we’re planting more than five trees for every man, woman and child in the United States. It’s a good story and we’re proud that our businesses all use wood as the main component in operations.
JFR Holdings combines a diverse number of family-owned and operated entities within the Industrial Products and Construction Products/Services industries. The first, J.F. Rohrbaugh, was started in 1880 and remains operational to this day. Currently, it’s the oldest “family-run” business in the Hanover community. JFR Holdings was created in 2015 when West Side Wood Products was purchased. In 2017, Bruce Jones Contractor and Jones Building Supply (now JFR Construction) were added to JFR Holdings, creating an entity that is recognized as best in its class in Industrial and Construction products and services.
