What's Changing (and What Isn't)

General Woodcraft — the company behind Mataverde and Climate Shield — has joined Cambium, a company connecting wood suppliers and buyers across the country to build a more modern supply network for the industry.

If you've bought from us before, here's the short version: nothing you rely on changes, and there's more behind it now. The rest of this post covers exactly what that means. 

"It is the best next chapter for the people we have served for 77 years." — Steve Crook, President, General Woodcraft

Your projects and specs

Here's what stays the same, across everything we carry:

• Specifications: Specs, testing documentation, and certifications are unchanged. Anything already written into a project holds as-is.
• People and terms: Your rep isn't going anywhere, and neither are our Connecticut and West Coast teams. Pricing, open quotes and orders, and warranties all carry forward as they are.
• Where you get answers: This blog, our product resources, and our support all continue.

What changes

Joining Cambium puts more behind the products you already use:

More availability, coast to coast: Cambium brings inventory and distribution on both coasts, meaning fewer regional stock gaps, and more supply capacity when your schedule is tight.

A wider range from one source: Alongside what we carry today, Cambium connects a broad network of materials — including their flagship Carbon Smart Wood™ (sustainably sourced, traceable salvaged American wood). 

More resources on the way: Over the coming weeks you'll see expanded product information and project resources. We'll share those here as they go live — one more reason to stay subscribed.

Quick answers

Is Mataverde going away? No. Mataverde continues, with the team you know behind it. Everything you can buy from us today, you can still buy today. If anything about specific products ever changes down the road, you'll hear it from us here and from your rep first, with plenty of notice.

Do warranties on my existing installations change? No. Every existing warranty stands exactly as written.

Does my dealer, quote, or open order change? No. Pricing, terms, and every open quote and order carry forward unchanged, handled by the people you already work with.

Where do I find spec sheets and product documentation? Right where you find them today. If anything moves in the future, we'll publish the new location here first.

Who is Cambium? Cambium connects and modernizes how wood gets bought, sold, and moved across the country, so builders and designers can source quality materials at any scale. You can read the full announcement at cambium.com.

A word from Steve Crook, President of General Woodcraft

"We have deep knowledge of product characteristics, lead times, sourcing, pricing and that does not change. We chose Cambium because it gives our customers more products, more logistical support and superior pricing. Cambium provides our customers with forward thinking technologies to improve their buying experience. It is the best next chapter for the people we have served for 77 years!”
