SPECIALTIES
Sears Trostel specializes in domestic and exotic hardwoods as well as arched and curved millwork.
Just as continuous improvement is part of our culture, continuous motion is an essential part of our process. When an order is placed, tooling is scheduled, lumber is inspected and pulled, and the order is added to our production queue for processing. Once the wood for your order begins moving, it doesn’t stop. Millwork moves from station to station, and remains in virtually constant motion until it reaches the truck that will deliver it to your jobsite exactly when you expect it to arrive. This fast, efficient manufacturing flow reduces lead times and helps to ensure that our customers’ projects stay on schedule.
