CULPEPER, Va. — Culpeper Wood Preservers, a manufacturer of pressure-treated lumber, has acquired Long Life Treated Wood, a Maryland-based supplier and manufacturer specializing in marine-grade lumber. This acquisition bolsters Culpeper’s marine division and enhances its ability to serve customers with durable, high-quality products designed for harsh water environments.

“The acquisition of Long Life Treated Wood allows us to continue our growth strategy to better service new and existing customers,” said Jonathan Jenkins, president of Culpeper Wood Preservers. “We are deeply grateful to both Pat and Tom O’Malley of Life Long Treated Wood for their trust and collaboration throughout the acquisition. We are committed to honoring the legacy they have built.”

Founded in 1977, Long Life Treated Wood has established a reputation for manufacturing high-quality pressure-treated forest products with a commitment to outstanding customer service and integrity, paralleling the values of Culpeper. For more than 40 years, the company has operated on Maryland’s eastern shore, serving the region with high-quality southern yellow pine pilings, timbers, and lumber with a focus on marine applications.

“At Long Life Treated Wood, we have always been focused on doing business honestly and putting the customer first,” said Pat O’Malley. “Culpeper maintains that same commitment as a business. Our customers will be in great hands with them, and we wish Jonathan and the team at Culpeper nothing but continued success.”

Culpeper finalized its acquisition of Life Long Treated Wood in August 2024.
