Zelazoski Wood Products is mainstay

Antigo’s Zelazoski Wood Products began in 1924 as The Thos. Zelazoski Mfg. Co. and has grown to become a major supplier of everything from brush handles and ukulele necks to baseball bats and ice-fishing rigs.

The original plant was a converted blacksmith shop in the area of Third Avenue and Superior Street in Antigo. Tom and his four employees produced home and farm-related items. In 1928 it began to making wooden blocks for the brush and broom industry. The small company outgrew that shop and moved to new quarters at 103 Edison Street around 1940.

The company incorporated in 1952 by Tom’s sons, Clarence and Bernard, who continued to run the business until their sons, Jim, Ben, Mike, Charlie, Tom and Joe took over in 1986.
