A Wisconsin-based wood products company has opened its first facility in Maine at a former hardwood floor plant in Ashland, with plans to eventually bring more than 15 jobs there. WholeTrees Structures of Madison, Wisconsin, signed the lease this week for the vacant Moosewood Millworks building. The company makes structural round timber, a natural wood construction material it plans to market along the east coast. The venture in Ashland is expected to bring new life to a facility that’s been closed for six years. It will also expand the forest products industry with goods that are new to Maine.
