Braun Building Center officially began in 1969.
Patriarch Bob Braun purchased Laird Lumber Company on Chicago Street in Manitowoc and renamed it Braun Building.
In 1978, Bob and Carlie Braun built Braun’s current building, Building Center, located at 3303 Menasha Avenue.
The new property location enabled them to open one of the early Home Centers. This approach became the area’s standard for current Big Box stores.
In 2004, Paul and Dana Braun took the helm and ushered in the next generation in the lumber business.
Ben Braun was appointed Vice President at Braun in 2024.
Over the years, with the advent of the big-box retailers, Braun Building Center has evolved.
It now operates as a Pro Dealer.
Our primary customer is the professional builder who buys materials for use on a project for someone else.
In addition to area contractors and builders, Braun Building Center serves the do-it-yourselfer.
It also caters to area homeowners seeking kitchen design/remodeling and Residential/Home design—services that set us apart.
Our professional designers have guided countless homeowners through the design process.
In addition to a large inventory of lumber and plywood, Braun also manufactures wood floors and roof trusses.
Braun stocks a large inventory of roofing, siding, drywall, steel studs, and insulation.
