In March 1966, Manfred Bohlke goes out on his own to start his business, which is now known as M. Bohlke Veneer Corp. Before starting his own veneer mill, he purchased logs for a German company. During this time in 1963, Manfred emigrated from Germany to the United States, finding his life’s passion and his new home. In the beginning, Manfred worked on his own from buying logs to writing orders, invoices and shipping documents. Now, he has a knowledgeable team of over 200 passionate employees working at the mill and in the field.
