Louisiana-Pacific Corporation commonly known as "LP", is a building materials manufacturer. It was founded in 1973 and is currently based in Nashville, Tennessee. Key products are oriented strand board, molding and other trimming materials, and wood siding, and other engineered wood products.

As of 2005, LP has 29 manufacturing plants in the U.S. and Canada, and one near Malalhue in Chile.


LP was founded in 1973 as part of a court-ordered monopoly breakup of Georgia-Pacific. LP was headed by company president Harry Merlo for the first 22 years, who was known for his flamboyant style and generous civic contributions. For its first 33 years, Louisiana-Pacific was based in Portland, Oregon; the LP headquarters were moved to Nashville in 2004. [1]

During the 1990s, LP was the defendant in a major class-action lawsuit over its OSB siding product known as Inner Seal, manufactured from the early 1990s through 1996, due to its poor performance in humid environments.
