OUR HISTORY

OUR COMMITMENT
Our sales, production, quality control and customer service all work together in our single location to closely monitor each order and to ensure that the Company continues its 50 year commitment to exceed our customer’s expectations before and after the sale.
WHY RUTLAND?
Our sister company, Superior Mat Co., manufactures, sales and
leases a wide range of mats for most construction applications.
Another affiliated company, Rutland Timber Company,
purchases standing timber from local land owners for use in our
sawmill, and also manages the Company-owned timberlands
industries.
