Our History

Our story began when Sherm and Bonnie Anderson acquired the stud mill and finger joint facilities formerly owned by Louisiana Pacific Corporation. With a rich history in the timber industry dating back to the late 1960s, Sherm Anderson has been instrumental in shaping the company's vision and mission. He has served as President of The American Loggers Council and has earned numerous awards and recognitions from various business and industry associations. In 2003, he even served a term in the Montana State Legislature as a Senator representing the areas of Deer Lodge and Helena.
