HISTORY

Oleksak Lumber Company was founded in 1922 by Andrew T. Oleksak Sr., with a portable sawmill and a horse drawn logging sled, and 4 generations later has grown to its present location in Westfield, Massachusetts as producers of Northeastern Hardwood and Eastern White Pine lumber.

For over 86 years, Oleksak Lumber Company, family owned and operated, has served Western Massachusetts with a commitment to service and value. Our operation now includes a fully automated sawmill, dry kiln, milling facility, pallet lumber cut-up operation, bark mulch business,  and including our own crews, an extensive network of loggers supplying logs for the sawmill. Our raw material is generated in part from the 3,000 plus acres of family owned timberland and from private landowners.

We manufacture and sell pallets and rough sawn lumber to several manufacturing plants. Our finished products include wide plank flooring, V-groove, shiplap, channel rustic, and dimensional Pine along with a wide selection of kiln dried Northeastern hardwoods. We also sell mulch, colored chips and pallets.

By selling directly from the mill, we take pride in our motto “From the tree to thee” and the Oleksak Lumber Co. logo is associated with hard work, experience, quality, and fairness. We appreciate your interest and look forward to earning your business

LOGGING 

   Oleksak Lumber Co. procures and saws into lumber approximately 2 million feet of sawlogs annually. We buy all species of timber native to the Northeast with no emphasis on any one particular species. We try to incorporate all hardwoods and softwoods into our program.

The Oleksak Lumber forestry staff is also responsible for management of our family-owned timberlands which presently total approximately 3,000 acres. The majorities of our timberlands are enrolled in current use programs and are subject to our own written forest management plans.

Besides procuring logs from our own forests, we also purchase timber from private landowners, municipalities, state forests and watersheds throughout Hampden and Berkshire Counties.  Our logging activities can be relied on to meet or exceed the highest standards and requirements of local, state and federal agencies.

Daniel Oleksak, co-owner and Forestry staff head, brings practical experience and higher education to the job. Dan holds a masters degree in Forestry from the University of Massachusetts. He is also a certified Forestry consultant and a registered land surveyor in the state of Massachusetts. He is actively involved in serving on local conservation commissions, the New England Society of American Foresters, the Board of Directors of the Massachusetts Wood Producers Association, and a member of the Northeast Loggers Association.

Our Forestry staff is dedicated to the goal of protecting our environment and utilizes selective harvesting and reforestation methods to insure that our forests are sustainable for future generations. We use low grade timber either to make pallets or it is sold for pulp. This allows us to offer complete utilization of products from the woodlot.
