Our Congratulations to Osborne Wood Products on this 46th Year Anniversary!

​Your support and service to the WCMA these past 28 years is greatly appreciated!
As reported by Woodworking Network June 2025
​

Osborne Wood Products, Inc. is gearing up for the Third Annual Founder’s Day event which will take place on Thursday, July 10, 2025. This event was created to celebrate the company’s accomplishments each year, as well as recognize milestones. This year, the company will be celebrating its 46th anniversary.

Customers will be able to take advantage of the discounts offered throughout the entire year during Founder’s Day, including the entire online catalog being 20% off. This is subject to inventory and as is the case with most promotions, custom items would not apply. The company also notes that the 20% promotion cannot be combined with other offers.

Employees will meet as one large group a few times throughout the day, including at a paid lunch and learn event. The lunch and learn is one of several held throughout the year and it will include a presentation that informs employees of various opportunities they have within the company and community. There will also be a morning meeting for all employees where CEO Jeremy McClain will discuss the highlights of the past year.
​
“Founder’s Day has quickly become one of the highlights of our year,” stated McClain. “It is a time to celebrate the milestones we’ve reached, honor the culture that drives us, and share our gratitude with the people who make it all possible- our customers.”
