Thank you for visiting our
website! I would like to share with you
information about our history, our objectives and our philosophy.When we founded Weekes Forest Products in 1978 we sought to build a company
based on honesty, reliability and exceptional product knowledge. We have
remained focused on these principles and can assure you that they will be our
guide as we begin the new millennium.
We are a privately owned company and have grown rapidly because of the
talented associates who comprise our team...they are our most important asset.
Our growth has been augmented since our founding with several acquisitions
and expansions.
North Star Forest Materials joined us in 1986 and
remains a highly respected distributor of framing, MSR, studs and panels.
In 1995 we acquired distributors that now are located in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
and Grand Rapids, Michigan. We also opened a branch in Fargo, North Dakota
in 1995, Chicago, Illinois in 2001,
Logan Lumber Company
in 2006 and our newest division located in Green Bay, Wisconsin was acquired
in 2008. Our first manufacturing business was acquired in 1998 and the
second one was acquired with the Green Bay facility in 2008.
Our objective is to be your vendor of choice. We plan on earning your
business and your trust, by providing error-free service, top quality products,
and a plentiful inventory of wide variety at competitive prices. We see
the producer and our customers as partners in business, and we treat them as
such.
To potential employees, we say "welcome!"
Look us over. Then give us a call,
because our growth means plenty of opportunities.
To other distributors who would like to chat about partnering with us, we
would welcome the chance to get to know you.
Again, thanks for checking out our site. We hope it will be a regular
stop for you to get the market and product information you need. Create a
link from your website or bookmark
us as a "favorite" and let's help each other grow.
Sincerely,
Steve Weekes
Chairman, President & CEO
