Cambium operates a supply‑chain technology platform that connects tree care services, sawmills, manufacturers, and logistics to transform salvaged wood into Carbon Smart™ Wood products, millwork, and now mass timber. The company digitizes and streamlines the traditionally fragmented wood industry with chain‑of‑custody tracking, inventory and logistics tools, POS, e‑commerce, and AI/LLM‑driven efficiency solutions. Cambium is manufacturing cross‑laminated timber (CLT) from salvaged wood through partnerships with CLT producers and is expanding mass timber offerings to substitute steel and concrete in buildings. It has moved over 8 million board feet of wood, sequestered more than 10,000 tonnes of CO2e, and built a network of 350+ tree care companies, sawmills, and trucking partners. Recent strategy includes scaling distribution of Carbon Smart™ Wood, broadening logistics via the Mill Market acquisition (July 2024), and pursuing additional M&A to bolster supply‑chain infrastructure. The company intends to use new capital to deploy AI across the $788B wood products industry, grow the team, and scale operations to meet rising demand for traceable, low‑carbon building materials. Cambium Carbon operates Traece, a SaaS platform that connects trees to local sawyers and millers to turn them into durable products that store carbon and fund community tree planting. The platform enables a supplier network through which real estate developers, tech companies, and furniture manufacturers purchase Carbon‑Smart Wood. Traece has moved $3.7M of wood to date. The company raised $3.2M in seed funding to scale operations. Cambium plans to use the funds to grow its team, expand platform user‑ship, divert 2,500 tons of wood waste, and plant 10,000 high‑impact trees in partnership with communities. It was founded by Ben Christensen, Marisa Repka and Theo Hooker.
