Krause & Managan Lumber Company

Krause & Managan Lumber Company, L.L.C. is a privately held, family-held company based in Sulphur, Louisiana, in the southwestern part of the state. Its official history traces the enterprise to June 1889, when two young men shared a desk while working for Perkins and Miller Lumber Company in the small community of Westlake, Louisiana. That working relationship grew into a lifelong partnership, and the two men eventually acquired Perkins and Miller Lumber Company and built it into the foundation of a corporation that remains in existence today. The company's website states that it was established in 1873 and that, more than 150 years later, the corporation is known as Krause & Managan Lumber Company, L.L.C. Six generations later, the company's revenue streams have changed, but its stated goal remains the same: to preserve and continue the original company. Although the name retains "Lumber Company," the modern business is diversified across land and natural-resource activities in Southwest Louisiana. Its land holdings are located across multiple Southwest Louisiana parishes, with a modern office facility in Sulphur, Louisiana, situated on one of several working farms. Current operations include land management for productive long-term use; cattle and working farms for beef production; dirt excavation, land-based work, hauling, and excavation support; a construction and demolition debris and wood waste landfill; real estate leasing, rentals, and long-term property management; subdivision and land development projects; managed forestry focused on managed pine growth; and the managed outdoors preserve known as Big Woods Fish and Game Preserve. The company also operates under the MK Farms & Lands identity for its farming and land activities. A significant operating unit is Krause and Managan Disposal, a Type III Construction and Demolition Debris and Wood Waste Landfill located just north of the Sulphur city limits on Highway 27, at 1360 N. Beglis Pkwy., Sulphur, LA 70663. Owned and operated by Krause and Managan Lumber Co., LLC, the facility has served the area for over 25 years. It specializes in construction debris, demolition debris, and wood waste disposal and presents itself as a practical alternative to municipal waste facilities, helping reduce the burden on local waste systems while supporting waste transporters, building contractors, homeowners, and the surrounding community. Accepted materials include construction and demolition debris, steel, concrete, bricks, roofing materials, plastic construction lumber, trees and limbs, wood chips and bark, and shingles. The facility does not accept white goods and appliances, solid waste and household garbage, furniture, drums, paint containers, tires, industrial waste, asbestos waste, cardboard and Styrofoam, or carpet. Landfill hours are Monday through Friday, 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM, weather permitting, with no new loads accepted after 4:15 PM. Pricing effective March 1, 2024 includes a $50.00 minimum charge, roll-off boxes, dump trucks, and dump trailers at $7.00 per yard, trailers at $50.00 to $210.00, pick-ups and vans at $50.00, cargo vans at $60.00, and a $25.00 pull-off service fee. The company remains privately owned and does not appear to be listed on a public stock exchange. Its identity is closely tied to Southwest Louisiana, where it has operated for generations and where its land, farming, forestry, disposal, and development activities are concentrated. The official website presents the enterprise as one built from a partnership that lasted, with a continuing mission to preserve and continue the original company.
