President Phillip Ongna has been with the company since 1963. He does the lumber buying and also works directly with the customer to plan, draw, and quote for the specific product you need to fit. His main objective is to make a quality product and stay as competitive as possible. He most values the relationships built with the customer and wants to deal with honesty, integrity and good communication with all of the customers.

Vice President Scott Ongna stays within the manufacturing of the product as a plant manager. He has been with the company since 1976. He works closely with the employees and over sees that the quality is consistent and gets the product out the door to meet the scheduled delivery. He works very hard at meeting the needs of the customers when schedules change - a common occurrence in today's manufacturing world.

Secretary Mary Ongna takes care of Accounts Receivable, delivery slips, miscellaneous scheduling, and all the details in both Human Relations and Employee Benefits.
