Sussex Tech students visit Kuiken lumber yard

SPARTA — Sixteen students from Sussex County Technical High School, along with their Computer Aided Drafting instructor, Thomas Makris, visited Kuiken Brothers Lumberyard and Millwork showroom in Succasunna. These students are enrolled in the school’s CAD and Design Technology program.

During their visit the students learned about Kuiken Brothers 101-year history and its role within the strategic partnership between architects, builders, manufacturers and the consumer. The students then received a tour of the showroom where they explored the various window, door, decking and molding options available from Kuiken Brothers. In addition, they met with cabinetry designers to learn more about the custom design process for kitchens.

Students also were able to tour Kuiken Brothers 16-acre lumber yard and received in-depth knowledge of the inner workings of a retail and distribution center, with a focus on shipping and receiving materials, storing and inventorying, as well as working with customers at point of sale.
