Long Proven Success Story
In 1949, at the age of 41, Gerhard Sterling formed a scrap metal business in Northern Illinois. By 1970, Gerhard and his youngest son, John, had evolved the company into a successful lumber supplier.
Today, John and his four sons (Carson, Carter, Christian and Cooper) run a company built around six decades of consistency, quality and customer service. With warehousing, manufacturing, and sawmill locations in Illinois, Indiana, and Missouri, Sterling can deliver product coast-to-coast or internationally by truck, rail, or barge.
