RoyOMartin is one of several wholly owned subsidiaries of Martin Sustainable Resources L.L.C., a privately held equity investment company. The name RoyOMartin honors the business pioneer and Martin family patriarch, Roy O. Martin, Sr. (Roy Sr.), who began the family’s first business with a small sawmill in Alexandria, Louisiana in 1923 and soon thereafter bought a few acres of timberland.
Martin Sustainable Resources L.L.C. is owned by several generations of Roy Sr.’s descendants. Its holdings are broad but focus primarily on land, timber, and mineral resources with special emphasis on sustainable forests and forest-products manufacturing businesses. These holdings include the plywood and oriented strand board (OSB) manufacturing facilities owned and operated in Louisiana by RoyOMartin and by RoyOMartin’s wholly owned Texas subsidiary (Corrigan OSB, L.L.C.). Martin Timberlands L.L.C. is one of the largest private landowners in the southern United States.
RoyOMartin is a professionally managed by experienced family and non-family leaders who are proud of the family’s heritage and dedicated to the values established by Roy Sr. nearly a century ago. These values are the company’s riches. They are not comprised of material possessions – they are far more important. We express them as RICHES:
R
Respect for each other as human beings uniquely created by God.
I
Integrity in what we do and say we will do regardless of the cost, legally and ethically.
C
Commitment to our business, to our employees, to our customers and to each other.
H
Honesty in our interactions with our fellow employees, our supervisors, our customers, our vendors, and our families.
E
Excellence in safety, product quality, employee training and development, and process improvements.
S
Stewardship of our land, timber, and plant assets.
