CASCO, Maine — Hancock Lumber said it is repositioning itself as a "division-less" organization for the future “as one Company, with One Strategy + One Vision.”

The 176-year-old, seventh generation manufacturer of white pine lumber also announced the addition of two new executives and an internal promotion to its realigned senior leadership team.

According to a blog post on Hancock Lumber’s website: “As the company continues to grow and evolve, this restructuring is designed to help meet current and future business demands, execute strategic initiatives, and foster collaboration and alignment companywide. The company remains all-in on being a world-class white pine manufacturer and adding value to those products, on servicing builders through its lumberyards and kitchen design showrooms, and on being a market leader in component manufacturing with trusses, wall panels, and Tiny Homes—but, above all, on honoring its mission to enhance the lives of the people who work at or are connected to Hancock Lumber.”
