​
Victor Barringer purchased and rebranded the company that is now known as AWP in 2014. Acadian Wood Products is represented by the letters. Build-Proud.com, a sister company, and supplier of all things related to custom cabinetry, was founded in 2019 and has its headquarters in the Little Rock area. The goal of Build-Proud.com is simple: provide exactly what you need at a price you can afford, both in our direct markets and nationally.
​
The AWP Wood Products Promise
​
The mission state of AWP demonstrates a commitment to quality. The goal is to collaborate with both vendors and customers to provide unrivaled service, products, and solutions in the specialty hardwoods market. Because of the variety of woods available, AWP fuels the construction of flooring, furniture, cabinetry, and other products across the country. Buyers can expect high-quality merchandise and old-school service from BuildProud, as the team sources the products requested at the best prices. This promise of quality and service translates to significant savings and hassle-free transactions, and customer reviews indicate that each account has a positive working relationship. "I am the Chief Quality Control Officer, relationships mean something to AWP, our top accounts have my direct line and can call me anytime it's not right," says Victor Barring.
​
AWP Wood Product Professional Associations
​
With the need to successfully interact within a global economy while also supporting sustainable and ethical business practices, it is critical to join a professional organization where peers and industry experts can become valuable resources and contacts. There are four well-known associations in which AWP maintains active memberships. Indiana Hardwood Lumbermen's Association, National Hardwood Lumber Association, Hardwood Distributors Association, and Cabinet Makers Association are among them.
​
Our Business Solutions' Products
​
Customers have more options with hardwood and specialty woodworking thanks to the product offerings of BuildProud and the AWP operations. The diverse inventory meets the needs for both common and uncommon items, but the in-house millwright and molding program gives skilled craftsmen more control over the products and customizations requested. This gives the company a significant advantage over the competition because the work is not outsourced to a third party, resulting in cost savings that are passed on to the customer. It's a big reason why sales have increased by 62 percent in the last two years and the company has added more than 300 new accounts.
​
Molding and custom millwork
​
The benefit of the custom millwork program is that the craftsmanship is of higher quality than that found in mass-produced, one-size-fits-all pieces. When built on request, the work of an experienced millwright also provides a more polished appearance with increased functionality. Inventory options available through the program include, but are not limited to: bed moldings, cabinet door edge, chair rail, door and glass stop, crown or cove molding, simulated louver, lattice, and scribe/shelf edge.
​
Cabinetry made to order
​
For hardware, the BuildProud team collaborates with Salice, Richelieu, and Filter. Each of these companies has improved the convenience of drawer slides and the security of cabinet door hinges. The inventory does, however, include veneer, edge banding products, adhesives, Famowood, screws, and adhesives. AWP and its BuildProud division make certain that all hardwood lumber and custom cabinetry requirements are met.
​
AWP Building Solutions Partnerships
​
The brands carried by AWP demonstrate product superiority. Working with these industry partners gives you access to new innovations in cabinetry components while also ensuring sustainable and legal wood sourcing to protect the forestlands and environment. The variety of brands that work with AWP bridges the gap between residential and commercial inventory requirements. USply, Timber Products Company, Columbia Forest Products, Classic American Hardwoods, Northwest Hardwoods, Danzer, and Salice are some of the leading brands.
