About Robbins Manufacturing: 

Welcome to Robbins Manufacturing Company.  In 1938 our company was founded as a saw mill operation.  Later, in 1948 we began treating wood products with CCA preservatives.  Today, we are known as a premier provider of Wolmanized® Heavy-Duty™ Wood to the agricultural, marine, and utility industries.  Our products are available to retail and independent dealers throughout Florida and the Southeastern part of the country.

We produce a majority of the fence posts, marine pilings, and utility poles that we sell through our distribution operation.  We have the largest production facility in Florida where we annually produce over one million cubic feet of poles and pilings in addition to over one million fence posts.

We are innovative and responsive.  Our retailer and distributor partners know they can pick up the phone any time and get a thoughtful answer to any lumber-related questions.  All our associates are cross-trained in every aspect of our business to ensure that they can respond promptly and efficiently.
