CEDC embodies Wisconsin’s spirit of innovation, devoted to recognizing and celebrating the remarkable achievements of local businesses and entrepreneurs. To actively promote and highlight the collective successes we have accomplished together, fostering a vibrant and prosperous community, CEDC is proud to host its Annual Meeting on August 24th, 2023.

Last year CEDC was proud to award Northern Crossarms Co., Inc. as the recipient of the 2022 Business Expansion and Retention (BEAR) Award. Continuously demonstrating their worthiness of this recognition, Northern Crossarms Co., Inc. has shown remarkable ingenuity in addressing the issues associated with wet treated wood decks, such as shrinking, cupping, warping, and twisting during the drying process, leading to uneven gaps and spaces, even in newer decks.

Thanks to the dedication and expertise of Pat Bischel and their team of fifty skilled craftsmen, a groundbreaking solution has been developed. Right here in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin, they have introduced Kiln Dried After Treatment (KDAT) deck boards. This innovative decking undergoes a meticulous drying process that minimizes the common problems associated with wet treated lumber. Additionally, it boasts a thicker profile, enhancing stability, and features stress relief cuts, resulting in a smooth, even surface. In addition to KDAT deck boards, Northern Crossarm excels in manufacturing various other high-quality products, including post and glulam beams, joists, shed siding, tongue & groove boards, fire-treated, and dimensional lumber. Their commitment to innovation and excellence is a testament to the thriving business community in Chippewa Falls.
