Summit Tree Stands marked its 25th year of business in 2006 and is still going strong with a commitment to produce the best products possible for the hunting industry. They offer an incredible variety of the most technologically advanced climbing tree stands, ladder stands, and specially designed safety harness for the serious hunter.
Early on, the founder, John Woller Sr., recognized the faults of climbing tree stands. They were too heavy, held together with bolts or rivets that squeaked with the slightest movement, were uncomfortable, and possibly most important, unsafe. As an engineer and a hunter, he knew he could make a better one.
Woller Sr.’s intent was not to create a company that was to become the leader in the tree stand industry. His focus was on the product. After much research and plenty of discarded designs, he came up with his original stand and began slowly and meticulously producing them for his friends.
Summit is as much a family business as any, with father, John Woller Sr., as the figurehead, and sons John Jr., Ron and Will — plus son-in-law David — all in leadership roles within the company. Summit Treestands LLC was purchased by EBSCO in 2002, and the decision to sell was a difficult one for Woller Sr. “It’s been a very satisfying relationship, though,” Woller Sr. said. “When it’s working you just keep it working.” That’s a statement echoed by Will, who says the company is still run like it was before the sale.
Down To Earth is proud to be a part of this success story for over 15 years. Processing side by side with Summit Treestand’s web-front end orders and corporate accounting interface, Summit Treestand’s Down To Earth v7 manages the Sales Order, Inventory, and Manufacturing side of the tree stand products. During the seasonal peak, all keyboards are busy shipping over 1,000 tree stands in a day to private individuals and large companies such as LL Bean and Cabelas.
Summit Treestands is widely recognized as the leader in the climbing tree stand industry, known for top-quality manufacturing and materials, smart design and reliable features. Summit’s been a leader in safety, as well, being the first tree stand company to include a safety harness with each tree stand sold.
