FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Monday, September 23, 2024
Landon Tarvin named President of UFP Retail Solutions
Replaces Will Schwartz, who was recently named CEO of UFP Industries
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – Monday, September 23, 2024 – UFP Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: UFPI) today announced that Landon Tarvin has been selected to replace Will Schwartz as president of UFP Retail Solutions, effective December 29, 2024. UFP Retail Solutions is a business segment of UFP Industries that produces ProWood pressure-treated lumber, Deckorators composite decking and accessories, UFP-Edge siding and trim products, and Outdoor Essentials fence and garden products. Landon currently serves as vice president of Deckorators.
“We had many internal candidates who were qualified for this role, making it a difficult decision,” said Will Schwartz, who will replace Matt Missad as CEO on December 29, 2024. “As a proven strategic thinker and thoughtful risk-taker, Landon is the right person to lead UFP Retail Solutions. Landon has been a consistently strong performer in each of his roles at UFP, and in his time leading the Deckorators business unit, he has defined the brand vision and the strategies needed to achieve that vision. He is a respected leader whose skill at identifying and developing talent will benefit the entire Retail segment.”
Landon joined UFP Industries in 2002 as an account manager and advanced into roles of increasing responsibility, including senior account manager and sales manager, before becoming general manager of the company’s plant in Harrisonville, Missouri. In late 2019, he was named vice president of Outdoor Essentials. He was named to his current role of vice president of Deckorators in 2021.
“I’m honored to be given the opportunity to step into this role,” said Landon, “and look forward to executing our UFP Retail Solutions strategies. We will continue to develop our exceptionally strong team while building on the solid foundation set by my predecessors. I’m grateful for the trust placed in me by Will Schwartz and Matt Missad, and am thrilled to have the chance to continue to drive the performance of UFP Retail Solutions further, faster.”
