At that time it was owned and operated by Mr. John Augustus Reitz, who was nicknamed "the Lumber Baron" for having milled more feet of hardwood lumber than any other mill in the country. In 1958, the struggling business was purchased and ultimately revived by a 28-year-old employee, John A. Kathrein, who moved the company to its current location and renamed it Industrial & Wholesale Lumber ( IWL ). From 1958 until his death in 1999, John A. Kathrein transformed the company from a hardwood milling operation into a world-class, industrial and commercial wholesale lumber supply company specializing in wooden crates and international shipping containers.Following his passing, he was succeeded by his son, John R. Kathrein, the current President & CEO. John R. credits the company's spectacular growth to a number of factors, including product availability, service and innovation, all of which allowed Industrial & Wholesale Lumber to take advantage of a marked increase in demand for low cost, reliable wooden shipping containers, pallets and boxes. Wood, despite a proliferation of other materials in recent years, remains the most practical and cost effective means of protecting industrial products from a wide variety of handling, storage and shipping conditions, as industry tests and shipping insurance records continue to illustrate.
