OUR HISTORY
Central Lumber Sales is proud of their history. From its early days, Central Lumber Sales has focused on distributing quality products rather than commodities- quality over quantity. We have always prided ourselves on having high quality material to offer the retail dealer. Over the years, our business and territory have continued to grow and expand and we are looking forward to moving to our new location summer of 2023.

The origin of the company dates back to 1917, but the name, Central Lumber Sales, was not adopted until 1935.

Central Lumber Sales moves to 439 A Street.

Roger and Barb Welte purchase Central Lumber Sales from the Arthur Yost Family and stockholders.

Central Lumber Sales opens its Omaha location.

Roger and Barb’s daughter and son-in-law, Jim and Jill Giesler, purchase Central Lumber Sales and set up an Employee Stock Ownership Plan.

Central Lumber Sales will consolidate its current 5 buildings under one roof at 6600 Arbor Road. We are excited for this next chapter!
