The Pursell Manufacturing Story

Pursell Manufacturing was founded by Bill and Richard Pursell (father and son) near Grants Pass, Oregon. From the start, their focus was on innovation, quality products, and superior customer service. The Christmas Tree Supply industry was revolutionized when Bill and Richard innovated a new process to mass produce high quality wooden Christmas Tree stands, which soon became the most popular method of standing trees in the American West. Pursell Manufacturing quickly became well known nationally as a reliable supplier of quality Christmas Tree supplies at a very competitive price.

Over 5 decades, that same dedication to innovation, quality, and service has been on display as we developed nail-on water bowls, tree preservative, snow flock, rebar stands, and our own lines of netting. In 1999, Paul and Alan Pursell took on leadership roles and the company moved to Colorado. Jim Lightfoot, sales rep, came onboard a few years later, and our product line expanded rapidly. The acquisitions of TNI netting in 20214 and Holiday Sales in 2018 expanded our presence in the Christmas Tree Lot Supply Industry and solidified our valuable, long-term relationships with both vendors and customers.

In 2022, we brought on 3 very capable leaders to carry on the legacy and culture of Pursell Manufacturing: Doug Martin (supply chain manager), Kevin Torline (sales manager), Jesse Snyder (general manager Colorado facility), and Alexis Cardenas (general manager or MN Cellulose Division). Richard Pursell, Alan Pursell, and Paul Pursell continue to provide direction and resources to the company. As we look at the current stability of our organization, our combined 6-acre, 75,000 square foot facilities, and the great friendships we have built with our customers in the many years since 1968, we are reminded of what hard work, dedication to innovation, quality products, and superior customer service can do.

Pursell Manufacturing takes great pride in what we produce. We put our name on our products and stand behind what we produce and distribute. We are very blessed. We offer thanks to all of our associates and customers over the past five decades. We hope you continue to choose Purswell Manfacturing for all your Christmas Tree lot supplies in the years to come.  – The Pursell Family
