American Log Homes was incorporated under the laws of the State of Missouri in 1977. The founder and president, Clyde Cremer, is a graduate forester with many years of experience in the forests of the United States. Cremer has a BS in forestry from Stephen F. Austin State University (Nacagdoches, TX), and a Master's of Forestry from Yale University.
His experience in log home manufacture dates back to 1973. It was the belief of Cremer that a better log could be produced at a more competitive price than products then on the market. The drafting table was literally cleared off and a new log design was perfected.
This new design started with a well-seasoned timber and then a double tongue-and-groove was milled into the log, along with a drip edge. From this superior log design, the total log home construction system has evolved into one known for its quality.
In 1984, American Log Homes started its second plant facility in Pueblo West, CO. This is now the main plant and processes logs for distribution throughout the West and Japan. The Midwest plant is located near Bourbon, MO. This plant ships its homes throughout the Midwest and East Coast.
