Plateau Forest Products, LLC (PFP) was originally established in 1985 in Albuquerque, New Mexico. In 1992 we re-located to beautiful Bend, Oregon which has evolved from a sleepy lumber town to an international mecca for outdoor enthusiast and people in search of the active life.

Over the past 40 years we have transitioned from a small trading company to a diverse multi-product global business because of our reputation of keeping our word and providing world class customer service to our partners.

From day one, our interns step into the fast-paced world of lumber trading, working alongside our team and gaining hands-on exposure to real market activity. Interns are immersed in the business—supporting day-to-day work, learning how trades come together, and seeing firsthand how decisions are made.

A key part of the experience is the intern presentation, where interns bring together what they’ve learned through market research and present their insights to the team. It’s an opportunity to build confidence, strengthen communication skills, and showcase their understanding of the industry.

Beyond the day to day, interns also experience the culture of our company. Throughout the summer, they take part in team outings and corporate events, building relationships and enjoying a well-rounded, engaging internship experience.
