Eastex Forest Products is a unique operation because of its people and the way Bobbie Schiel runs the show.

A trip to the headquarlers on llartwick Road in Houston's industrial northeast side tells the story. Once you g,et past the yard watchman's oflice, you are ushered into a large bull pen where five sales people and Bobbie Schiel are manning phones, making sales calls and trading lumber. What is good enough for the sales people is good enough for the owner, and that's the way Eastex Forest Producls rs run.

Rod l)idier heads treated materials sales, bringing I l years experience to their customer base. Vince (ioodman has l6 years with Schiell Max Welch also has 16 years experience, but not all of it with Schiell Terry Welch has eight years experience and Dan Anderson, seven years plus a degree lrom the University of Minnesota in forest products.

The financial end of Eastex Foresl Products is under the direction of Ruby Schiel and her two daughters.

As Bobbie Schiel so proudlybut not boastfully - put it, "We're family owned and very proud of the quality service and the quality product we provide our customers."

With no outside sales people, as such, the success which Eastex Forest Products has achieved speaks very well for the quality of its product and the quality of its customer service.
