Delray Beach, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 02/25/2014 -- Freedom Steel has always prided itself as one of the earth’s friendliest buildings as a member of the Green Building Council as well as other environmental organizations. It comes as no surprise that it becomes the steel building provider of choice for one of the largest private owners of timberlands worldwide, Weyerhaeuser. The company owns or controls more than 6 million acres of timberlands, primarily in the U.S., and manages another 14 million acres under long-term licenses in Canada. It is also one of the largest manufacturers of wood and cellulose fibers products, and it develops real estate, primarily as a builder of single-family homes.
Like Freedom Steel, Weyerhaeuser gives back to the world community in many ways. Their investment in our communities is directly tied to where they have the most impact -- where their employees work and live and where they own and manage forest lands. We believe that our employees are the best connections to our communities. They serve on advisory boards to help direct our giving to a variety of causes and groups in their local communities. We invest in our communities through multiple channels: Through our Giving Fund, we contribute cash contributions to community organizations through a local grant-making process; sponsor our annual Operation Diaper Drive, a companywide initiative formed in partnership with World Vision; and provide disaster-relief funding (and volunteer support through our employee involvement program).
The aforementioned project in Surrey County, NC consists of two small single-slope metal buildings: Both are 30x40 in different heights, attached as one. Freedom Steel provided the prefabricated structures complete with all of the sheeting, bracings, hardware and engineered drawings. The open-front shelters were designed to house Weyerhaeuser’s valuable equipment. Freedom Steel CEO Pascal Gibert says: This is yet another example of the high level of trust and confidence that Freedom Steel has been building in the industry. We are proud to add Weyerhaeuser to our ever-growing portfolio of impressive corporate clients.
