Upon their arrival at Kuiken Brothers, the visitors were welcomed by Douglas Kuiken, President, and Ryan Mulkeen, Director of Marketing.  During their visit the group learned about Kuiken Brothers 103 year old history and the role the company plays in partnerships with architects, builders, manufacturers and the end consumer.

The group then took a tour of Kuiken Brothers 16-acre lumber yard and explored all the product options inventoried and available to our customers for both residential and commercial applications. We discussed how our lumber is delivered directly from the mill on the West Coast and its arrival to our lumberyards by railcar, reducing our carbon footprint.
