Bliffert Lumber & Hardware merged with Oostburg Lumber Company, a single-location, full-service lumber yard and design center in Oostburg, Wis. The transaction closed in November 2021.

“We had hoped to partner with a company that shared our values, especially concerning employees, customers, and community. We believe Bliffert Lumber does that and more,” Steve Vanderploeg, president of Oostburg Lumber Company. “A large firm that operates as a family-run business, Bliffert brings buying power and expertise that should allow Oostburg Lumber to operate as a premier supplier of building materials for many years to come.”

Oostburg Lumber has been in operation since 1979, specializing in lumber, millwork, windows, decking, garage doors, kitchens, and baths. Oostburg Lumber provides a design department that designs decks, basement and home remodels, home additions, kitchens and baths, as well as new home designs.

“At Bliffert Lumber & Hardware, we are continually improving on the construction and home improvement experience for our customers across Wisconsin,” Eli Bliffert, vice president of Bliffert Lumber and Hardware, said. “Oostburg Lumber Company shares our focus on excellent service, and this partnership and location will provide our Sheboygan County customers with an improved range of services, products, and support. We firmly believe we are stronger together.”
