Biewer’s Beginnings
The Biewer family was not always in the lumber business. Originally from Germany, they made a living as a brewmeister. When Prohibition shut down the Biewer beer business, the family was left to look for other opportunities.
Because they were located near the St. Clair River, they decided to open a fishing boat livery and a bait-and-tackle shop. When one of their customers made his seasonal payment to Biewer in the form of logs, they entered the sawmill business. With the use of mobile sawmilling equipment, the Biewer’s had found their niche… And the rest is history!
The business thrived and has continued to grow over the years. Now, the family of companies now includes four state-of-the-art sawmills, three treating and distribution facilities plants, two manufacturing plants, and a full-service logistics company.
