Tommy and Mandy Sancic started Olde Wood Limited in 1997 with a team of three. Since that time, it has grown into one of the largest wide plank flooring and reclaimed building materials manufacturing facilities in the nation, expanding its product lines and continuously growing along the way. The company is proud to manufacture its wide plank flooring and other products at its facility in Stark County, Ohio, using a combination of both traditional milling methods and cutting-edge technology. Olde Wood Limited’s commitment to the National Wood Flooring Association (NWFA) runs deep. They are active participants in the NWFA Expo, both as exhibitors and with Tommy Sancic providing insights as part of expert panels. The company is a longtime publishing partner with Hardwood Floors magazine and regularly provides content to share their knowledge with readers. Here, the Olde Wood Limited team tells us more about their story in this Q&A. How Did The Company Begin? Founded on the principles of hard work, craftsmanship, and a deep appreciation for natural beauty, our company began with just three simple things: a truck, a chainsaw, and a man’s unwavering passion for bringing people’s visions to life through stunning wood creations. In What Ways Has Your Business Evolved Since That Time? What began as a company supplying raw lumber to manufacturers has evolved into one of the nation’s leading producers of luxury wide plank flooring. Today, we offer meticulously color sorted and graded long-length domestic species, including white oak, walnut, maple, and hickory, with an impressive inventory of almost 3 million board feet. Our commitment to quality extends beyond sourcing premium materials— we manufacture our own engineered plywood core and utilize our in house

advanced automated prefinish line to ensure precision and consistency. Every day, we push the boundaries of quality and efficiency, setting new standards in the industry while staying true to our passion for exceptional craftsmanship.
