In 1993 Thompson River Lumber was founded by Roger Claridge as a family owned and operated sawmill. Roger brought many years of experience and knowledge of not just general business, but the area and the industry, from operating a company that among other things, hauled logs down the Thompson River Road to the mill site. TRL is located at the confluence of the Thompson River and the Clark Fork River near Thompson Falls, Montana.
Thompson River is currently the second largest employer in Sanders County. We pride ourselves in making the best possible products. The dimensional lumber, boards, industrials and specialty items are produced with the assistance of modernized equipment, and perhaps our most valuable resource, our employees.
Moved by rail and truck all across the country; our finished lumber products can be recognized by the logo on our paperwrap used to protect the lumber during travel.
A portion of our residual products, that we do not use in house, supplement other businesses in the wood fiber industry, enabling them to maintain their raw material supplies and sustain their current employment levels.
The company today maintains that family owned and operated atmosphere through its President, Dan Claridge who handles the day-to-day operation of the mill.
