Zeeland Lumber plans to open a new facility in Elkhart, Indiana

Oct 01, 2013. /Lesprom Network/. Zeeland Lumber plans to open a new facility, creating up to 72 new jobs by 2016. The company will invest $1.56 million to purchase and equip a 60,000 square-foot facility in Elkhart, Indiana. The new location, which will be complete early next year, will allow Zeeland Lumber to expand its distribution and sales services in southern Michigan and northern Indiana, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

Zeeland Lumber, which currently employs more than 240 employees across Michigan and Indiana, plans to begin hiring production associates, material handlers, truck drivers, truss designers and salespeople next month.

"Our expansion with facilities and equipment in the northern Indiana market fits well with our strategy," said Mike Dykstra, president and CEO of Zeeland Lumber. "We have a customer base in Indiana currently and this will help us serve our existing customers better, while allowing us the capacity to increase market share. Elkhart serves as a great location logistically to accomplish these goals. Growing our market to Indiana was a natural extension of our long standing reputation in Michigan for being a market leader in the building supply industry."

Zeeland Lumber Holdings is a fully integrated lumber and building materials distributor serving customers with product, design, manufacturing, and labor solutions for residential, multi-family, and commercial construction.
