Our parent company, Giles and Kendall, Inc., has specialized in the production of 100% Aromatic Eastern Redcedar products for over 30 years. We are headquartered in Huntsville, AL, and also have production facilities in Gainesville, MO. And both of our facilities are a case study in production efficiency. To learn more about how we create our products from a renewable resource with virtually no waste, take a look at the bulleted information below.

• We use only Aromatic Eastern Redcedar in the manufacture of our products – because only Eastern Redcedar provides natural protection against insect pest infestation and mildew.
• Eastern Redcedar (Juniperus virginiana) logs are select cut by small crews in the Midwest and Eastern part of the U.S.
• While the Eastern Redcedar is typically a small tree, its logs can actually be cut to yield a 4"x4" square with a length of either 51" or 102". These resulting squared logs are called "cants."
• Tongue-and-groove planks are then sawed away from the cants to create our CedarSafe^® planks.
• The smaller diameter ends of the tree and the large log slabs from the side of the cant are made into flakes which are later used to create CedarSafe closet panels.
• Waste from the CedarSafe process is used as fuel in the heaters used to dry the flakes.
• The smaller slabs and other log waste from our sawmill are recycled into mulch for landscaping.
• Sawdust and moulding shavings from the sawmill are processed for extracting cedarwood oil for the fragrance industry. Residue, after extraction, is used as boiler fuel for generating the steam for this oil process as well as for space heating in the winter.
