New Millwork Finishing Plant

A new millwork finishing operation has been established by Glen Oak Lumber & Milling, Inc., and managing partner Scott Copus, formerly manager of Glen Oak's poplar millwork plant in Somerset, Ky.

Occupying a newly built 22,000-sq. ft. facility in Belleville, Wi., Capital Finishing, LLC, factory finishes doors, interior mouldings and jambs.

Customers can utilize Glen Oak's fingerjointed poplar or pine mouldings and MDF jambs or supply their own mouldings and door stock.

Before joining Glen Oak, Copus had been with his father's business, Madison Pre-Hung & Pre-Finishing, which produces Glen Oak's other embossed prefinished products.

According to Glen Oak ceo Tom Talbot, "Scott saw the need in the marketplace for more quality finishpainted mouldings due to increased demand for finish-painted interiors. We added the printed embossed product, put together a partnership, and have a win-win enterprise."
