Creator of Outback Flooring, Hurford Hardwoods is an Innovator with a Global Outlook: Based in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, Hurford Hardwoods USA, sources and distributes wood products all over the world including the United States, Asia, Latin America, New Zealand, and Australia. We also control every phase of many of our wood products - sourcing, milling and finishing them in our own facilities internationally and in Virginia. At our Winchester, Virginia, operation we have drying kilns for our lumber, manufacturing for some of our other products, and we are linked to our distribution facilities in Lodi, California and Portland, Oregon.
In Virginia, we are conveniently located within the greater Washington D.C. and greater Northern Virginia areas, and a mere stone's throw from two of the ports through which we import and export: Baltimore and Virginia Inland Port. We also import and export through several other major ports throughout the United States.

The Virginia Team |
The Vice President of the U.S.A. operation, Shayne Lachlan, has a total of over forty years with the company in the USA and overseas, and has led the USA division since 1998. Originally from Australia, he was sent to the Winchester Virginia branch to head up the North American lumber and flooring operation.
Account Manager, Liz Miller-Sisk, a Virginian born and bred, has also been with Hurford Hardwoods USA since 2001. Liz has made her home in Winchester with her family. She has watched the Virginia USA division ride the ups (and downs) of the lumber and flooring industry, and grow. Sales Executive Todd Armel and Production Manager Jason Michael round out the core Winchester team. An entire staff of yard crew complete the picture. |
Our Story
|
The company evolved into Hurford Hardwoods USA in 2016 when Hurfords Australia bought out some assets of the U.S. division of another Australian lumber and flooring company which had already been in the U.S. since the early 1908s. True to the original company's origins of starting small and ultimately becoming the dominant source of exotic and domestic lumber and flooring in the USA market, Hurford Hardwoods USA remains a premium supplier of those wood products. |
While never forgetting domestic American favorites like white oak and maple, we are proud to have been the first company to introduce Australian Cypress into the U.S. market in the 1980s and to have been market leaders by bringing other exotic species of flooring and lumber into the U.S.
We have sustained and expanded during numerous industry cycles in several countries, including during the tough business times of the post-2008 economic meltdown in the United States. We pride ourselves on the quiet achievement of growing through diversification at that time, when other lumber and flooring companies were going to the wall and the USA and the rest of the world were staggering under the effects of the global financial crisis in 2008.
It can truly be said that the USA division owes its existence to the determination, energy and integrity of the people at the Winchester headquarters who keep its U.S. divisions moving forward.
Now we are in several countries overseas, several locations in the U.S., we continue to expand our lumber and flooring product lines, and we are delighted to have become Hurfords Hardwoods USA, part of a leading Australian lumber and flooring company.
