Hedstrom Lumber Company, Inc. is a long-established producer in the paper and forest products sector, operating a sawmill, dry kiln, and planing mill to create specialty lumber. Located in Grand Marais, Minnesota, the company emphasizes low-cost production and sustainable practices, sourcing aspen, birch, balsam, jack pine, red pine, spruce, and white pine from public lands managed for responsible forestry and multi-use land management. Its products are primarily directed to markets in Minnesota and Wisconsin, with distribution extending across the United States and into Canada. The operation runs on thermal self-sufficiency and strives to minimize waste in its manufacturing process, producing about 15 million board feet of lumber annually, including local white pine timbers for timber-frame construction. Hedstrom Lumber has a history spanning more than a century in the region, and a notable leadership transition occurred in 2019 when the long-serving president Howard Hedstrom retired after 43 years with the company.
