APA – The Engineered Wood Association is a trade organization serving the wholesale building materials sector. Founded in 1933 and based in the Tacoma area of the Pacific Northwest, it represents a network of mills across the U.S. and Canada that produce engineered wood products such as plywood, oriented strand board, glulam timber, cross-laminated timber, wood I-joists, Rim Board, and structural composite lumber. The association's core activities include quality auditing and testing, applied research, and market support and development. Its customers are the mills that produce engineered wood products across North America, and APA provides quality assurance, testing, and market development services to support them and the broader market. In early 2026, APA announced the appointment of Jennifer Coskren as vice president of economic analysis and market research, with the start date set for January 12, 2026, as she succeeds Joe Elling who is retiring later in 2026.
