Under Kim’s leadership, the company has expanded from Fort Dodge to include locations in Grimes and Coralville. The Grimes location sits on 12 acres and contains 12,000 square feet of office and showroom space, with a 41,800-square-foot warehouse. In 2004, Beisser Lumber began producing interior and exterior doors in the Grimes facility to serve customers throughout Iowa. The doors produced are used in single-family, apartment, and commercial projects.

In the spring of 2005, the new facility in Coralville was finished and mirrors the Grimes location. Building in Coralville allows for Beisser Lumber to enhance their service in Iowa and throughout the Midwest.

There are guiding principles that steer Beisser Lumber they were first established in Fort Dodge and are still at the root of everything they do, such as valuing employees, recognizing their skills, and trusting in them to do their jobs well. Beisser’s vision continues to be focused on providing building solutions that allow their customers to develop great communities and they strive to accomplish this by developing and maintaining long lasting relationships through delivering quality building materials and services. Beisser Lumber takes pride in achieving customer satisfaction with the dedication of their valued employees to promote mutual growth and success.

Fred and Marian Beisser believed in giving back to their community, and one of the most notable examples was their involvement in bringing Northwoods Living to Fort Dodge. They donated the land that Northwoods Living was built on, and the home for disabled individuals is now managed by One Vision.
