Welcome to QB Corporation, located in Salmon, Idaho, USA. Our journey began in the early months of 1977, crafting structural components for a spacious 40′ X 90′ building, which now stands as the cornerstone of our operations. In those early days, we proudly produced around 30,000 board feet per week, setting the stage for our growth. Today, our production capacity is over 1.5 million board feet per week.
Since 2019, our commitment to excellence has driven us to enhance our fabrication services by elevating capacity, precision, and craftsmanship. After thorough deliberation, we invested significantly in a CNC machine for glulam beam fabrication. By the autumn of 2020, our vision became reality as we successfully integrated this cutting-edge CNC technology, solidifying our position as one of the largest CNC-equipped glulam manufacturers in the United States. Our “All-in-One Glulam Manufacturing and Fabrication Facility” proudly extends its offerings to stock or custom glued-laminated timber beam and glulam rim board production, CNC fabrication, attaching connections, and assembling. QB Corporation’s beams are manufactured from various species: Douglas Fir, Western Red Cedar, Alaska Yellow Cedar, and Southern Yellow Pine.
QB Corporation is a proud member of both the American Plywood Association (APA-EWS) and the Engineered Wood Products Association (EWPA).
QB Corporation uses a nationwide distribution network for product delivery. With the capability to ship to numerous ports across the United States, we are also prepared to serve foreign markets. Do not hesitate to connect with us for tailored insights into product distribution within your region.

Environmental
► Wood and the Environment PDF (Attached) – Carbon impact on using renewable wood products for your building.
► QB Recycling:
• We take all the plastic wrapping used on our lumber and then recycle it. We also have trash cans around the facility to collect plastic bottles and aluminum cans to recycle.
• We make sure none of our wood scraps, trims, or sawdust go to waste by producing wood pellets. The pellets are bagged and sold to local markets to use for heating.
