Our mission
Zuern Building Products supplies a full line of building materials to professional builders and homeowners. We have three expansive lumberyards with complete showrooms in Allenton, Cedarburg, and Watertown, Wisconsin. Since 1954, we’ve been family-owned and operated. We take pride in our tradition of providing high quality building materials and valuable services to our customers. We are “Building on Service!”
Our History
It all started back in 1954 when Louis and Irene Zuern purchased a small lumberyard named Weis Lumber in Allenton, Wisconsin and renamed the it to Allenton Lumber & Fuel. In 1970, Allenton Lumber & Fuel was sold to sons Don, Bob, and Joe Zuern. The company was then renamed to Zuern Building Products and had a total of 5 employees.
In 1985, the Zuern’s bought Hanson Lumber in downtown Watertown, Wisconsin. After 10 years a new store and yard were opened on the south side of Watertown and the downtown location was sold. In 2007, Zuern opened a new location in Cedarburg, Wisconsin.
Currently, Zuern Building Products is in its third generation of family ownership. The third generation includes Dave, Jim, and Greg, sons of Don and Jan Zuern; Tom and Brian, sons of Bob Zuern; and Jenny, daughter of Joe
Zuern.
Zuern Building Products is a proud member of Lumbermen’s Merchandising Corporation (LMC). LMC is an exclusive network of independent lumber and building materials dealers. This means we have the buying power of over 1,200 lumberyards, passing the savings onto you. Through LMC, we purchase collectively from major brand name manufacturers and contract with only quality lumber mills.
From our beginnings in 1954 as Allenton Lumber & Fuel with 5 employees, Zuern Building Products through the dedication of now over 100 employees has grown to be one of the largest independent, family owned and operated lumber and building material suppliers in Southeastern Wisconsin.
Thanks.
