At Biewer, we've worked hard to earn the respect of our customers and we're dedicated to keeping it.Not many know this, but the Biewer family was not always in the lumber business. The family, originally from Germany, made a living as a brewmeister. Prohibition eventually shut down the Biewer beer business, leaving the family looking for other opportunities. Located in close proximity to the St. Clair River, the family opened a fishing boat livery as well as a bait and tackle Shop. It wasn't until one of their customers made his seasonal payment to Biewer in the form of logs, that they entered in the sawmill business. With the use of mobile sawmilling equipment – the Biewer's had found their niche. The rest is history.The business thrived and has continued to grow over the years. The family of companies includes 5 state-of-the-art sawmills, 3 treating plants, and a full-service logistics company.
