BRAINERD, Minn. - More than 28 years after founding Wood Products Unlimited in Brainerd, Minnesota, owners Don Andres and Alan Andres have passed the ownership torch to two of their longtime employees.

 

Employees Ryan Aanes and Todd Pietila have purchased the company, which has tripled in size since its founding in 1992. Aanes and Pietila have worked at Wood Products as craftsmen since 2004 and 2000, respectively. 

 

"We’ve always been 100 percent custom,” said Pietila .
