Whitinsville, MA — 2024 marks the 85th anniversary of the founding of Koopman Lumber, a well-known building, lumber and home improvement supplier across Massachusetts. With 13 locations, the Koopman Lumber team is celebrating this milestone at select locations, throughout 2024. Like many lumber companies nationally, Koopman Lumber is a family-owned business that has been a big part of their community since its founding.
“In 1939, my grandfather Peter Koopman started collecting, storing and, with the help of my grandmother, selling lumber and supplies to local builders. Contractors would just ring the bell or yell from the driveway like they were family and that’s still the core of what we stand for at Koopman Lumber,” said Dirk Koopman, CEO of Koopman Lumber.
In the past year, exciting developments have marked a period of significant growth for the company. The Koopman Lumber team commemorated the first anniversary of their Dennis, MA, location with a special celebration and ribbon-cutting ceremony in May.
Koopman also announced the acquisition of a new store in Pembroke, MA, expanding their footprint to the Cape Cod’s South Shore and enhancing their ability to provide top-quality products and services to even more customers across the region.
The Koopman Lumber leadership teams will also continue their regular community outreach programs to support causes around Koopman Lumber locations.
“Starting with our original stores, we’ve always embraced being part of the community, supporting children’s sports, local food banks and other non-profits and charities,” said Denise Brookhouse, CFO of Koopman Lumber. “We view each day at every Koopman location as an opportunity to add to the lives of the people that come into our stores.”
Tony Brookhouse, COO of Koopman Lumber added, “As we look back at 85 years of history at Koopman Lumber, we know that we owe our success to the builders, tradesmen and homeowners that have been walking into our locations. We look forward to serving those customers and new members of the Koopman Lumber family for the next 85 years and beyond.”
