Maximo Thermowood is a solution designed for ceilings, walls, soffits, and more.

Maximo Wood, a brand of GMX, is expanding into the Western U.S. through a new dealer partnership with Ganahl Lumber. This deal will bring Maximo Wood’s Thermowood products to builders, architects and designers across California.

Ganahl Lumber, based in Anaheim, Calif., will now offer Maximo’s Thermowood products through its 10 California locations. Maximo also has a distribution partnership with Boise Cascade, per the company.

"The Maximo brand makes thermally modified wood products affordable and accessible for contractors in everyday use, while offering the advanced technology and aesthetic appeal that architects can specify with confidence," said GMX founder Giovani Miguel. "We are expanding our success story with Maximo Thermowood in other states to California. Leaders walk alongside leaders, which is why we are partnering with Ganahl."

“Maximo Thermowood is a great looking product,” said Tim Davis, Sales Manager, Ganahl Lumber. “Customer response to it has been positive across the board.”

Maximo Thermowood is a solution designed for ceilings, walls, soffits, and more. With its own verticalized production in Europe, GMX sources wood from Europe and nearby countries. Through an advanced, scientifically proven thermal modification process, the moisture content of the wood is significantly reduced, while hemicelluloses—key components susceptible to fungal decay—are broken down.

This treatment enhances dimensional stability and increases resistance to decay, insects, and moisture absorption, per the company. Maximo also says the process reduces labor costs and comes with a 20-year durability warranty for both interior and exterior use.
