When the morning shift comes with a sky show! 🚀

The October 13 SpaceX Falcon 9 launch created quite a sight above Apalachee Pole Company in Bristol, Florida.

With water v***r rising from the dry kiln and the rocket's trail stretching across the sky, this photo captures a pretty unique morning at the mill!

🌲 A little piece of Apalachee Pole Company history in this week’s Roots of Rex Lumber!

Established in 1986, APC became part of the McRae family’s growing forest products operations, manufacturing utility poles and pilings.

Today, we’re proud to continue that legacy and to be part of a story that has been more than a century in the making.

🌲 Roots of Rex Lumber | One Step at a Time

In December 1993, Timber Processing featured North Florida Lumber during a period of continued investment and modernization. With Rex Lumber serving as its marketing arm, the Bristol mill was an important part of the Rex story.

New technology and equipment were being added throughout the mill, including upgrades to the trimmer and optimization systems, expanded lumber storage and new lift trucks. Together, these improvements were helping increase production, improve efficiency and make better use of each log.

The operation was evolving beyond the mill as well. North Florida Woodlands and Apalachee Pole Company had become part of the family’s growing forest products operations.

It was another chapter in a story that had already been nearly 70 years in the making and one that was still moving forward.

One step at a time.

Not a bad view from the office. 🌅

Tyler Powell caught this sunset over the pole yard. Some days, the view makes you stop for a minute and appreciate where you work.

An incredible way to start the day.

One of our Apalachee Pole Company employees captured this stunning view of the recent SpaceX launch from our facility.

Some sights are too good not to share.
