Jim Griswold

With over 30 years’ experience in engineered wood products and structural adhesive technology, Jim brings a wealth of innovation and knowledge to the manufacturing environment. Half of his career has been in leadership positions in various engineered wood facilities, most notably, General Manager of Filler King Company, a glulam timber and laminated roof decking manufacturer. Under Jim’s watch, Filler King grew significantly and was later purchased by Boise Cascade. Jim stated, “The experience growing a small family run business into an industry leading company was challenging but extremely rewarding.”

Jim spent many years working to further the cause of the mass timber movement by being an integral part of the technical advisory committee and board of directors for AITC (past president). Jim, along with his Adhesive Sub-Committee, developed the ANSI 405 Standard for Adhesive for Use Structural Glued Laminated Timber. That Standard has withstood the test of time and is currently the adhesive standard for not only Glue Laminated Timbers but also the Cross Laminated Timber industry.
