Fro* our beginnings in 1940, we've used teamwork to provide our customers with outstanding service and quality products.

7Tt I oday, the Bean Team works just as hard to ensure tfiat the Southern Pine products we manufacture meet rigid quality standards.

!Vn"n you call, rest assured you'll talk to a human being, not a machine. We'll prove to you that we mean it when we talk about unequalled crrstomer service.

tTt I he gentlemen in the old photo above worked hard to position that log so that each board that left the sawmill was as perfect as ttry could make it. Just like today.

!V" *.." there for you yesterday, we're here for you today and we'll be here for you tomorrow. Count on it.

r'r,t I he Bean Team is backed up by two sawmills, three pressure treating bylinders, a deck accessories shop and drv kilns for KDAT.
