FPD was formed in 1979 under Madera Pacific, a vertically integrated company with retail yards, a truss plant, pre-hung door plant, wholesale building distribution, and a trucking company. FPD purchased lumber and plywood items for sister companies and sold direct shipments of these same items to customers throughout the Midwest. In 1983, Madera Pacific sold the assets of FPD to Keith Danley and Carroll Korb who continued business as an office wholesaler of forest products.
