Crafting Excellence Since 1967
About us
Founded in 1967 by visionary entrepreneurs Glen Duysen and John Hamacher, Sierra Forest Products has a rich legacy rooted in the beautiful landscapes of Terra Bella, California. Our journey began with the establishment of a sawmill that cut its first log in February 1968, transforming the timber sourced from the renowned Sequoia and Sierra National Forests into high-quality lumber products.

Modern Efficiency Meets Tradition
