EcoTimber Moves Headquarters to Denver Area

Denver, CO, Nov. 3, 2009–EcoTimber Inc. has moved its headquarters from the San Francisco area to Denver’s Stapleton region to be more centrally located for customers and to cut costs.

The wood-flooring wholesaler also decided to relocate because Mike St. John, its new chairman and president, lives there. St. John is a general partner in Denver investment firm NewWest Capital Partners, which joined with Boulder-based Greenwood Capital Partners LLC to buy EcoTimber for $4 million in 2007.

“We have continued to make investments in EcoTimber, and in the last one, I came along with the money,” St. John said.

EcoTimber recently moved its main office from Richmond, Calif., to 75,000 square feet of a 150,000-square-foot industrial building in the Denver area. The company has about 30 employees, including 10 in Denver.
