Building industry publication ProSales Magazine has named Huntsville's Wilson Lumber Dealer of the Year for 2018.
As the winner, Wilson Lumber is featured in the cover story in the ProSales Magazine's January/February issue and will be honored at several events in 2018, including the ProSales 100 Conference.
Wilson Lumber has been selling building materials in North Alabama since 1949. The company has two locations, specializing in doors, windows, trusses, lumber, cabinets, closets and hardware.
It is currently revamping its millwork and truss operations under the leadership of an in-house director of continuous improvement. In addition, it is improving its warehouses, storefront, fleet, IT and website, as well as expanding its commercial sales.
ProSales editor-in-chief Craig Webb said the company has "grown dramatically in just the past two years, nearing $50 million in sales in 2017. But what truly makes Wilson notable is how it is engaging in so many best practices at once."
Company President Robb Wilson said work is built around the company's mission statement: "To build a successful company that upholds Christlike principles and inspires people to grow."
"I don't think we do anything that's particularly unique," he said. "But we have 150 people who are fanatical about doing the right thing."
