Welcome to the State of Washington's new housing and building materials web site. Here you will find information about the Japanese housing industry and companies exporting building materials to Japan, as well as information about technology transfer programs. Washington State continues to be the largest supplier of imported housing materials to Japan, and we work with over 200 companies that export value added wood products, building materials, and related professional services. We hope you will find this web site useful for your business.

Washington State exports over 50 percent of the US total of wooden building materials to Japan, making it the leading US exporter. The majority of these products are consumed by the Japanese housing industry. Some of the leading export products are engineered wood (glu-lam beams, wood I beam joists, etc.), pre-fabricated house packages, wood doors and wood windows.

Our building materials housing expert in Japan is available to provide companies with information on imported housing, and to introduce Washington State suppliers of building materials, panelized housing, design and construction services.
