Northtree.net is a new branch for PIWcorp. It is the Northern Michigan branch, in the future we have hopes NorthTree.net will grow and expand as the products and the services it offers become known and in demand. For now knowing PIWcorp has such a large tool box with millions of dollars of high tech tools and can offer services a startup company could only dream of is a lot like having a pro-athlete for a big brother and he volunteers to help you coach your first little league team. It does not get any better.

Where PIW Corp. looks to major corporate accounts and commercial construction to get work, NorthTree.net will be much lower key and will hope to find the business it needs through Social Networks, Art shows, Architects, Builders and North woods home owners. Word of mouth and referral has been the way PIWcorp has done business for the last 17 years. Seventeen years ago PIWcorp decided to give up the contractor side along with the field install side of the Architectural Metal Business and become a job shop and vendor. Since then all new business has been brought in by existing customers and referral and by ex-employees of existing customers that moved to new businesses. For many this may not seem like a very good business plan, but when you offer those customers the kind of service they cannot find elsewhere and when you stand behind a 100% satisfaction guarantee and when you make products equal or better then all others in the industry, when you do all this you do not need salesmen, you do not need to advertise, you don’t even need business cards the word gets around, the customers find you and you can decide who you want to work for. PIWcorp has a group of customers that know they have a partner who will be there in the good and bad times, one that they can trust, one that is honest and fair and one that can build just about anything.

PIW Corp. is customer driven.

NorthTree.net is not PIWcorp and may not ever have the many return customers PIWcorp does. As NortTree.net will serve a different kind of customer. But, we can say NorthTree.net will also be customer driven, just like PIWcorp. As we will look to the market and to our customers to find out what products they want and what they want to pay and we will do all we can to be the source for the products. We will not go off shore to find cheap products as we are going to proudly offer only Made in America items. Made in America yes but, we will look to find efficient ways to make lower cost quality products and we will look to offer products made using customer supplied art and pictures, something that will not be seeing from offshore for a while.

At NorthTree.net we want to make you the art and metal décor that you see in your mind’s eye, we want to complete your vision. We know our work has to be special and we know of no way to make it more special to you then it can be when we complete your vision. What would you like to see, what have you seen elsewhere that made you think, if only I could have (????) with that design, picture, graphic, or whatever. Let us be the engine that drives your ideas and bring them to life.

At PIWcorp we have made very high end products for the personal residences of some of the richest people in the world, and we have supplied high end metal work for the likes of Nike, Disney, Motorola, Donna Karan, Coach, Willis Tower, Bellagio Casino, Venetian Casino, Hurrahs Casino, Peninsular Hotel, and the list goes on and on. For those projects and thousands more for over 40 years we have made the vision of the owner and his architect come true.
Now with NorthTree.net we offer you access to the same level of service and the same tools, the same workmen, we can make your dreams come true.
