Woodgrain Millwork Honors Western Building Products After 1,000,000th Door Sold

FRUITLAND, IDAHO - June 20, 2003 - Woodgrain Millwork, Inc. recently honored Western Building Products for purchasing 1,000,000 doors from the Nampa, Idaho door manufacturing facility. Kelly Dame, executive vice president of Woodgrain Millwork, presented Western CEO, George Lorenz, with a custom platinum replica of a door during a ceremony held at Woodgrain's corporate offices on Friday, June 20,2003.

"Our business relationship with Western has been a true partnership," said Kelly Dame, of Woodgrain Millwork. "Western, through George's extraordinary leadership, has helped Woodgrain become a better manufacturer by helping us produce better quality products. And not only has Western helped us refine our product line, they have helped us add to it."

Wisconsin based Western Building Products, a distributor of building products, began buying six panel and louver pine doors from Woodgrain Millwork in 1990. Through the years, Western requested the addition of special door types and sizes. An entire production department was added to the Nampa, Idaho door manufacturing facility to accommodate Western's product requests. 

"Western is very pleased to be recognized by Woodgrain," said Lorenz. "We've very much enjoyed our business partnership over the years. Because Woodgrain was willing to listen to and understand our needs, we've been able to meet the needs of our customers."
Western Building Products' customer base includes independent lumber dealers who supply products to large contractors and builders. Western provides a complete range of services to their customers including staining, finishing and hanging the doors purchased from Woodgrain. 

"Our customers demand high quality products and a wide range of choices. They've come to expect this from Western and Woodgrain Millwork - and together we've met those expectations and more," said Lorenz.
