SPRINGFIELD, Ore. – While basketball fans will be cheering for their favorite college teams this March during the NCAA Tournament, Timber Products Company will be rooting for the courts.

 

The company’s Michigan hardwood lumber division supplied the northern hardwood maple material used by Connor Sports Flooring to build the 2008 men’s and women’s NCAA Division I Final Four floors.

 

“Like the Super Bowl field, these courts are among the ultimate stages in American sports culture,” said Mike Fox, sales manager for Timber Products’ Michigan division. “It’s an honor for us to provide the lumber to Connor Sports Flooring.”

This year, Connor is also furnishing the portable wood flooring systems for the NCAA Regional Tournament sites around the country.

 

Connor constructed the courts in Amasa, Mich., near Timber Products’ lumber facility in the city of Munising.

 

“We have a long-standing relationship with Connor Sports Flooring,” said Fox. “Our lumber contains a high percentage of first grade, white maple material that gives the courts their shine. As we do for all customers, we went the extra mile for them to make sure each piece was just right for the job.”
