Wilsonart Teams up with Distribution Leader in the Midwest

OHARCO has a 112 year history as a wholesale distributor in the regional market. Started as Omaha Hardwood Lumber Company in 1898, the company originally focused on distributing dimensional lumber and wooden wagon tongues. Today OHARCO distributes cabinet and countertop components supplying professional cabinet shops, countertop fabricators, builders and remodelers, home centers, lumber yards and kitchen and bath dealers. Additionally, the company supplies commercial flooring to flooring dealers and supports the architectural and design community as they specify flooring and other cabinet and countertop products for local, regional and national projects.

OHARCO will distribute Wilsonart products through its current locations in Omaha, NE and Des Moines, IA, as well as a new location in Sioux Falls, SD.

According to Wilsonart Regional Manager Tom Nelson, Jr., OHARCO is ideally positioned to represent Wilsonart in these Midwest markets. "OHARCO understands the challenges and the opportunities that exist in the region. Together, we share the focus on doing the right things for the right reasons. We are pleased to offer customers and specifiers the support that OHARCO will provide."
