Producers and Manufactures of Quality sustainable Forest Products since 1908. Current emphasis is being placed on a value-added concept designed to enhance the continuing success of M.T.E. on behalf of all tribal members.  M.T.E. is owned and operated by the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin through a twelve (12) member Board of Directors elected from the members at large.  M.T.E. employs approximately three hundred (300) individuals throughout its vast operation.  The mill alone employs about one hundred-sixty(160) in the peak season.

        As the business arm of the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin -- being owned, controlled and managed by the members of the Menominee Community -- MTE in many ways embodies the culture, values and spirituality of the Menominee:

        "It is said of the Menominee that the sacredness of the land is their very body,
        the values of the culture are their very soul, the water is their very blood. It
        is obvious, then, that the forest and its living creatures can be viewed as food
        for their existence." (Marshall Pecore MTE Forest Manager, Journal of
        Forestry, July, 1992).
