Viking Lumber - Start to Present...

Jud Flanagan operated the business as a small short lumber mill producing barrel staves, pallets, and box stock.1945 - "Pine Tree Products" was incorporated as "Viking Inc."1949 - As it expanded, the mill was moved to Belmont Avenue (Rt 3), across from where the McDonalds is today. The new location provided more room for the increased production. Here it operated as a Dry Kiln Planer Mill, wholesaling long lumber.1961 - A major fire destroyed the majority of the mill. At this time Jud decided to change focus from wholesale to retail lumber.1969 - Viking moved to its present location on Rt. 1, Searsport Avenue. The move was made necessary because the Belfast bypass was built where part of the former lumber yard stood.1978 - Jud semi retired and turned the business over to his son and daughters, David, Erin and Maureen, who run it to this day with the help of many excellent, dedicated and helpful employees.1992 - Vinalhaven store opens for business.1994 - David opened a full service saw mill at the Belfast location called "Pine Tree Products".
