Vendor: Kolbe Windows
Product: Aluminum Clad Wood Windows & Doors
Location: Wausau Wisconsin
The chronicle of Kolbe & Kolbe Millwork is more than a business success story, it is family history. Brothers Herb & Ervin Kolbe were born just before the Great Depression. They were children during the stock market crash of 1929, and endured the hardships of the decade that followed. Still, they shared a rich and full childhood. Their work ethic was built during their days on the family dairy farm.

Kolbe & Kolbe Millwork Co., Inc. was founded by two hard-working men full of ideas and integrity. One was my father, Herb, and the other was my uncle, Ervin. This company is the manifestation of their post-WWII dreams. They had a vision, a mission, and built on it with a careful sense of responsibility to customers, the community, and the employees.

We, the executives and employees at Kolbe, forge ahead without Herb & Ervin – yet we carry them in mind and heart. We are dedicated to their vision. I invite you to go beyond the products to learn the colorful history, mission, and more about our vibrant company.

Judy Gorski, Chief Executive Officer
