“We knew that the market would have to come back sooner or later. People can’t live in their parent’s basement forever,” Zeeland Lumber CEO and President Mike Dykstra said.

About 35 percent of the truss companies in Michigan and across the U.S. folded during the recession according toa report by the U.S International Trade Commission.

“We invested at the right time, While other companies where hunkering down to ride out the downturn, we were adding equipment and people so Zeeland Truss could be positioned to grow when things turned around,” he said.

That strategy included buying a 60,000-square-foot, rail side production plant on 7.5 acres of land at 5836 Clay Ave. in Wyoming. The truss company - which now has 75 employees - added 50 positions at the truss plant in the past two years, said Truss Plant Manager Dean DeHoog.

Zeeland Truss and Components will host an open house and luncheon for builders, suppliers, business owners and potential clients on Friday June 21 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

The company has the capability to manufacture about 90,000 trusses a year. In addition to roof trusses, the Wyoming plant has also expanded into floor trusses and ready-to-install wall panels.

PO Box 16685 Fernandina Beach, FL. 32035

“The plant location was strategically selected because Wyoming is centrally located to our main customer base in West Michigan and the state,” DeHoog said.

A family-owned business since 1947, Zeeland Lumber and Supply provides building materials for residential, commercial and industrial construction. It is headquartered at 146 E. Washington in Zeeland and also has outlets and showrooms in Kalamazoo, Comstock Park, Hamilton and Mishawaka, Indiana.

Dykstra said a large part of Zeeland Lumber’s overall success and growth has been as a result of its ability to provide value-added services for retail and building customers.

“Following our Zeeland Lumber philosophy to make ourselves a one-stop shop for everything from kitchen and bathroom designs to roofing, the truss division provides builders not only quality products but also crews to help put up the construction,” said Dykstra, noting providing experienced construction crews is a benefit for builders who are finding it tough right now to located qualified craftsman. © 2013 MLive.com.

Layman's Lumber Gui MI6 JUNE MARKET INTEL

June 25. 2013. Human behavioral researchers have determined that people have an unrealistic optimistic outlook on life. When asked favorite day of the week, the number one response is Saturday. Second is Friday. Least favorite is Sunday. Optimistic anticipation of the weekend vs. the coming work week Bi-Weekly Softwood Lumber Market Forecast & Trading accounts forThe the Friday over Sunday response.

Matt Layman, Publisher

So then, what is the best day to buy lumber?

In a down market, May on Monday, Week #22 Monday 27, 2013 sellers are hopeful. Tuesday is too early to adjust down. Wednesday negative reality sets in. Thursday desperation rises. Friday becomes hopeful that next week will be better. So buy down markets on Thursday.

In rising markets, sellers are overly bullish on Monday; Tuesday they get confirmation; Wednesday prices rise at midweek; Thursday is bullish expecting a Friday increase; Friday is another price increase. So buy rising markets on Tuesday. Flat markets; buy Wednesday when indecision weighs heaviest.

Best day to sell...Friday...when weekend optimism bias is greatest.
