Great Lakes Veneer Inc

About Great Lakes Veneer Inc

Great Lakes Veneer Inc buys hardwood logs out of Marion, Wisconsin. It's a mill and veneer manufacturer, not a logging crew, so it's set up to buy logs that are already cut and ready to move, rather than to come out and harvest your timber for you. They buy a long list of species: hard maple, red oak, hickory, white oak, red maple, white ash, birch, black walnut, black cherry, aspen, basswood, and more, including red pine. Their log buyers work the field directly with loggers, "meeting face-to-face with loggers in the field" to pick the grades they want. Pete Schwecke covers Wisconsin as their buyer for this state, and the company lists Waupaca County among the counties it serves, with other buyers covering parts of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Indiana, Tennessee, and Illinois. They say their log buying experts have "built a network of log suppliers ready to deliver," and that they offer "year-round availability" for log purchases. The company traces back to 1894, run today by the fourth generation of the same family, and it's also found in Shawano County's own business listings as a plywood supplier. This fits a landowner who already has logs cut, or who is working with a logger and wants a mill buyer in the mix for hardwood species like maple, oak, or walnut, rather than someone looking for a company to walk their woods and plan the harvest itself.
