McCausey Lumber is now McCausey Specialty Products

Words: Mike GilleranFor more than a century, McCausey Lumber Co. in Roseville, Mich., serviced the contractor trades with an array of building materials. As years passed, the needs of industry changed and competition intensified, so ownership decided to diversify its product mix and focus more toward distributing specialty products for niche market segments.

Today, the company remains family owned and operated by the fifth generation, distributing unique wood and composite materials to the model/prototype industry, scaffold industry, and other specialized trades.
