Established in Chicago in 2000, Sierra Forest Products has made a significant impact on the local building and housing market in the Chicago land area. They have now outgrown their original Downs Drive facility and are relocating to 1801 Hawthorne Lane, West Chicago (a mile from the old location) on January 31, 2011.

At 100,000 square feet the new Sierra headquarters on Hawthorne Lane provides a fifty percent increase in warehouse and office space. The building is a much better facility for Sierra's business, providing nine loading docks and two rail doors. It is also more suitable for Sierra's lumber milling facility. Other new improvements include: energy efficient motion-sensor lighting; a sleeper truck that extends our customer service range and a more capacious cantilever rack system.

"At Sierra Forest Products we are sensitive to our customer's business and their need for timely supply," explained Joe Ventimiglia, General Manager, Sierra Forest Products. "With that in mind we carefully planned and worked through all the details in order to avoid any dropped calls and business interruptions. Shipments will continue at their regular pace. We are not planning any downtime during our move."
