Background

About Greg Simon

I've spent my entire professional career helping to grow Far East American into one of the largest and most respected importers of hardwood plywood in the United States. I know, certainly not typical in present times. Yet it is exactly that longevity, drive, dedication and passion that I am most proud of as a key member of the Far East American management team and actively engaged building products industry executive. A wise mentor of mine told me early in my sales career to always remember the one thing people value most in any transaction is trust. Pure and simple words that I have never forgotten, and a characteristic that has continuously set me apart from others. Building quality, long term, mutually beneficial relationships with our valued customers and suppliers is at the core my professional achievements. As the Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Far East American, a leading importer of Chinese Birch Plywood, Russian Birch Plywood and Meranti Plywood servicing industrial distributors of building products, kitchen cabinet manufactures, and the Recreational Vehicle Industry throughout North America, I am exceptionally proud of the sales and sales support teams we've assembled. I'd like to think that I have mentored them in my image: Professional, knowledgeable, committed and most of all trustworthy.
