HUB International Wood Products

Coverage built by people who know your operation.

TALK TO OUR TEAM
HUB Team Haugen principals

From the forest floor to the finished panel, we cover the whole supply chain.

Most brokers treat wood products like any other manufacturing account. Team Haugen does not. We serve the full wood products supply chain across the Pacific Northwest, from forestry and logging through sawmills, panel and secondary manufacturing, wholesale, retail lumber yards, and the emerging mass timber space.

You need a broker who knows the difference between a sawmill and a secondary manufacturer.

Team Haugen is based in the heart of Oregon's wood products economy. We know the regulatory environment, the seasonal exposures, the carrier appetite in this geography, and the community, because we live and work here too.

The full wood products supply chain.

Team Haugen serves every link in the chain, from the stand of timber to the lumber yard counter and the mass timber jobsite, not just one slice of it.

Forest and fiber.

The upstream operations that bring the resource to market, with the seasonal, equipment, and fire exposures that come with working in the woods.

  • Forestry & Forest Services: land management, silviculture, and timber operations
  • Logging & Harvesting Operations: harvest, yarding, and road building

Mills and manufacturing.

The high-hazard core of the industry, where business income, property values, and fire prevention drive the program.

  • Sawmills, Planing Mills & Pulp Mills: primary breakdown and processing
  • Panel Manufacturing & Veneer: plywood, OSB, and engineered panels
  • Secondary Manufacturing: millwork, furniture, and components

Distribution and emerging.

Where the product reaches the market, plus the fast-growing mass timber space that is reshaping how the Pacific Northwest builds.

  • Wholesale Wood Products: distribution and supply
  • Retail Wood Products & Lumber Yards: premises and contractor supply
  • Mass Timber & Engineered Wood: the emerging specialty

The people behind your program.

Two senior advisors lead the practice, backed by wood products, claims, and surety specialists who know this industry.

SVP, Team Lead · HUB International Northwest

His focus on wood products, contractors, manufacturing, and transportation has shaped a team built specifically to serve operations that demand more than a generalist broker.

Charlie O'Dell

SVP · HUB International Northwest

Charlie O'Dell is HUB's Forest Products Practice Leader, the person the firm turns to when the account is large, the risk is complex, and the answer has to be right. With over 30 years in the insurance industry and a career built around the wood products space, Charlie oversees HUB's most significant forestry and wood accounts across the Pacific Northwest and beyond. He doesn't just know the insurance market for this industry, he's helped shape it.

That depth of experience means Charlie understands how a sawmill thinks about downtime, how a logging contractor navigates a hard renewal, and what a manufacturer actually needs from a property program when fire season arrives. That fluency is what separates a conversation with Charlie from a conversation with any other broker.

  • Large and complex account oversight
  • Carrier relationship management in the wood products market

The scale behind your program.

5,080+ wood products clients. $734M+ in premium. Proof of scale and carrier access no regional competitor can match.

These figures come from HUB's national wood products footprint, spanning 1,900 forestry and forest services accounts and 750 logging operations. Premium concentrated in the segments where your operation lives means real standing with the carriers who price your risk.

Premium by segment:

$194.5M

Sawmills, Planing & Pulp

$196.6M

Secondary Manufacturing

$148.6M

Wholesale Wood Products

$80.7M

Panel Manufacturing & Veneer

$53.9M

Forestry

$44.2M

Logging

When you bring $734M in wood products premium to the table, carriers pay attention.

That is leverage you feel at renewal: in pricing, in terms, and in the markets willing to compete for your account.

Bonds, handled by a true specialist.

Ian Campbell

Ian Campbell
