In addition, ninety percent of our lumber is machine stress rated to ensure exceptional performance.

Founded in 1935 by Donald Eckman, our company soon became the primary supplier of mine timber and building materials to the nearby anthracite mining industry. In 1947, John Eckman became president, and we became a major supplier to the area's building trades, operating four stores throughout the region. Jack Eckman was named Executive Vice President in 1972, and in 1979 the truss fabrication plant began manufacturing products to builders and contractors. In the fall of 1989, the building materials, and hardware store chain closed. In 1990, we reorganized to focus completely on the engineered products field, and in 1996 we became strictly wholesale to service the needs of our dealers. At Eckman Building Components, we'll be glad to put our experience to work for you today.
