For Wind Mill Slatwall Products, becoming FSC certified is another step in becoming the "measurably better" Slatwall, architectural panel, and component part supplier of choice. Not only is it the responsible thing to do for a woodworking company, but it is fast becoming a requirement by the top store fixture manufacturers and retailers. Wind Mill Slatwall Products completed the company-wide training and audit process by SCS (Scientific Certification Systems) in February of 2010. FSC certification requires the segregation of materials and documentation to be kept by each company along a products "chain of custody" from the source-tree in the "well-managed" forest, to the end product use at the consumer level.
