BOOTH 518: The core business of building component manufacturers centers around production, marketing, and distribution. Unfortunately, few have the expertise to manage price risk of lumber used in their core products even though most desire predictable earnings. In the dimensional lumber and OSB industry, it is obvious that most participants speculate about the direction of prices. Enron can eliminate the wasted time and profits associated with this unnecessary effort by controlling input costs with custom products that hedge specific levels of risk. Products include fixed price short and long term physical and financial contracts with Enron that can create growth and stabilize costs.

BOOTH 300: Because our strap replaces steel strapping, is safer to use, has memory and elasticity, and does not break when the load is dropped, we want to illustrate the ease of using the system and the safety. To accomplish this, saw horses are set up with wood placed on top. We demonstrate application of strap and use of buckle on wood - including tightening and the safety of cutting. This process is continually repeated. A video shows loads being dropped, strap being applied, and highlights specific points of our strapping system.
