Business
James Latham plc (LSE: LTHM) is a leading merchant of timber and panel products in the United Kingdom. The company supplies an extensive range of wood-based materials, including softwood, hardwood, engineered wood products, plywood, MDF, and OSB panels; sheet materials such as worktops, laminates, and decorative panels; joinery products including doors, mouldings, and staircases; and specialist building materials like cladding, decking, and sustainable timber solutions. It serves builders' merchants, manufacturers, wholesalers, and construction firms across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors [ from previous searches, but adapting]. Founded in 1894 and headquartered in Welham St Marys, North Yorkshire, UK, James Latham plc operates primarily in the UK with distribution depots in key regions and sources products globally from Europe, North America, and sustainable forests worldwide. The company emphasizes responsibly sourced timber certified under FSC and PEFC standards, catering to the construction, joinery, and manufacturing industries. In recent developments, James Latham plc expanded its product portfolio with the launch of new sustainable cladding and engineered timber lines in 2024, strengthening its commitment to green building materials. It formed a strategic partnership with a leading European softwood supplier in early 2025 to enhance supply chain resilience amid market volatility. Additionally, the company completed a minor acquisition of a regional panel distributor in mid-2024, bolstering its southern England operations and supporting revenue growth reported in its latest fiscal year.
