OUR STORY

Our Sawmill Was Born
The roots of our family of companies began in 1983 - Kendrick Forest Products began as a small logging and sawmill company with twelve employees.
1983

A Growing Success
After rapid expansion throughout many new branches of what is now Kendrick, Inc., a mission of sustainable forestry led to brainstorming the use of our shims and byproduct.
2016

The Sustainable Start
Utilizing the shims from our sawmill paired with groundbreaking printing technology brought right to our Edgewood, Iowa facility - a brand new company was born: shimlee.
