Sterling Lumber

In 1949, at the age of 41, Gerhard Sterling formed a scrap metal business in upper-Illinois. By 1970, Gerhard and his youngest son, John, had evolved the company into a successful lumber supplier using little more than sweat, hard work and reliable service.

Today, John and his four sons run a vertically integrated company built around six decades of consistency, quality and customer service. Incorporating modern technology, inventory and adaptability with the company’s core values of pride, hard work and trust, Sterling Lumber has become a reliable and long-term asset to the companies who purchase Sterling’s crane mats, access mats and construction timber.

"We have dealt with Sterling Lumber for the past 25 years and have experienced three generations of family integrity, service and quality along with competitive pricing. They have never let us down. We can recommend them to anyone because of their commitment to us and the industry" Kenny Construction
