Our History
Wurm’s Woodworking Company was founded in 1947 by John A. Wurm as a construction company and retail lumber yard.
After constructing several fine homes in the area, the nature of the company began to change dramatically in the 1950s. More time was devoted to producing wood component parts, mainly as a supplier to the box spring and mattress companies located in central and northern Ohio.
1947-50's
The 1960s had several changes in store for WWC as the marine industry began to flourish. WWC began supplying local boat manufacturers with cut-to-size plywood parts needed in the construction of hulls and decks. At the same time, area seating companies also recognized our company as a good source of supply for their seating component needs. By the end of the 1960s, WWC was manufacturing parts for fiberglass and pontoon boats, campers, vans, trucks, upholstered furniture, chair seat boards and backs.
1960's
Expansion in the 1970s consisted of the construction of more plant and storage space. John's son, Gerald B. Wurm, joined the company. New product line during the 1970s and 80s came in the form of teak deck strips, louvered doors, cup holders, map holders and complete galley sections built ready to install on the assembly line. By this time, the company was also supplying the heavy truck market with interior cab components. The 1980s brought CNC equipment and the start of our thermoforming division.
1970-80's
Expansion in the 1990s consisted of necessary investments in additional plant and equipment. John's grandchildren, Richard P. Wurm and Valerie N. (Wurm) Sanderson, began their careers with the company as well. During this time, the thermoforming process was moved into its own facility on High Street, just around the corner.
