The Western Retail Lumber Association has named Trent Balog, co-CEO of Taiga Building Products, as the winner of its 2021 Industry Achievement Award. The award recognizes someone who has contributed to their business, the building supply industry, the WRLA, and the communities in which they live.
Balog has been in the building supply industry for nearly 40 years. He started his career at MacMillan Bloedel, where he worked as a sales rep and ended up being the lead of a major national category in treated wood. He made his way over to Taiga in 1995. Balog, who retires at the end of the year, will be recognized at the awards night on Jan. 20, 2022, during the WRLA Building & Hardware Showcase.
