PLM has long been dedicated to the wood products and insurance industries it serves.

We believe our knowledge of the industries we serve allows us to build longstanding relationships with our customers based on our “shared value and mutual purpose”. Our dedication and expertise has not gone unnoticed. We strive as a company and as individuals to remain ahead of these industries as they evolve so that we can always provide the most current and useful news and information to our customers. As a mutual insurance company, our main commitment is to you.

The PLM Exchange

In 1886, a group of lumbermen formed The Lumbermens Exchange to join forces to reduce expenses, increase buying power, and share information and services. It was also through their mutual needs and values that PLM was born. In the spirit of this group, we present The PLM Exchange, our blog where we can share our industry-specific knowledge, ideas, and resources with our stakeholders and the wood community.
