APM Buildings is a subsidiary of the early Arendtsville Planing Mill which began it's operation in the early 1900's in Arendtsville, PA. The Planing Mill manufactured doors and window frames and supplied a complete line of millwork for house and church construction. The mill also expanded to include products to support local industry - barrel manufacturing, a product made to support the growing local commercial apple industry as well as plow beams, pitman rods, and wagon wheels to support the local farmers. The barrel factory operated until 1935 when new apple packaging appeared. In 1950, Marshall Longenecker bought Arendtsville Planing Mill. Under Marshall's ownership the mill continued to flourish adding custom cabinetry to their services. In Marshall's words, "We have made everything from toothpicks to rolling pins, and have served everyone from paupers to presidents." In 1963
Marshall retired, selling the family business to his son-in-law and daughter,
Elson and Jane Grim, who incorporated the business as APM, Inc. They continued
the tradition of manufacturing quality wood products and added storm window
installation, a brand new invention at the time. The business was expanded
into a lumberyard and wholesale distributor for building materials. APM
Inc. moved across town to a larger location and Elson and Jane purchased
a True Value franchise. In 1991 Curt Grim, son of Elson and Jane Grim,
joined the family business. In 1994 Curt Grim purchased APM Inc. from
his parents, dedicated to keeping the family tradition of providing quality
products and good service at a fair price. Today, APM Inc. has three divisions,
APM Building Materials, APM Buildings, and Accent Building Products.
