Centennial Woods, Inc. Company History
Centennial
Woods was founded January, 1999 in Cheyenne, Wyoming as a family-owned,
“S” Corporation. Its genesis was based upon an agreement
with the Wyoming Department of Transportation that authorized Centennial
Woods to harvest and replace the uniquely aged, weathered wood found
only on snow fences constructed in Wyoming. These snow fences represent
literally millions of feet of wood. The wood, predominately, is
either Ponderosa pine or Lodgepole pine. It ages to render an uniquely
western, rustic wood.
Centennial Woods, Inc. (“CWI”) reclaims
weathered wood from snow fence systems through out the state of
Wyoming. This wood has withstood many years of severe weather elements
found only on the high plains and mountain ranges of this region.
Low humidity and many days of strong winds leave a well-weathered,
high-quality board that is very low in moisture content and renders
an extremely unique, “western-look” patina. This wood
has been used for siding, paneling, wainscoting, ceilings, cabinets
and furniture. The wood has great appeal for those with discriminating
taste and can only be found in Wyoming.
CWI
has, virtually, an unlimited supply of aged, rustic wood. Regardless
of the interior or exterior application, CWI has always positioned
itself to fill orders of any size (a few hundred feet to 500,000
feet or more).
While the Company has tended to focus regionally
in the past, it has successfully developed working relationships
with several hundred clients and not only ships product to most
states, but enjoys off-shore distribution to the far East as well.
Among the extensive CWI customer base, you will find individuals,
custom builders, architects, designers and restaurant construction
groups. CWI’s business is equally divided between residential
and commercial applications.
In late December, 2005, 100% of CWI’s
common stock was acquired by a Laramie, Wyoming investment group,
The Blue Sky Group, Inc. (“BSG”) BSG is positioning
CWI and providing the resources to enable CWI to experience dramatic
growth in the next three years.
