Our History Since Alfred Julius Pietsch started the business in 1916, the A. J. Pietsch Company has continued a solid presence throughout Southeastern Wisconsin. Founded as a “general building, construction and repairs firm,” Alfred ran the woodwork and cabinetmaking operation for many years. Son Richard eventually took over the business and continued to promote a variety of relevant services: interior woodwork, cabinetry, store fixtures, office partitions, display cases, shelving units, industrial wood parts and displays, office wainscot and wall paneling. In fact, the firm is such a landmark operation that it’s one of the businesses recreated in the Milwaukee Public Museum’s “Streets of Old Milwaukee” exhibit. Upon Richard’s retirement in 1993, Greg Reistad purchased the company. Three years later, David Nadolski joined as a co-owner, and together, the two have grown the company to its current size of approximately 25 individuals. Today, the firm still occupies the 25,000 square foot, 3-story building it moved to during its first decade of business and continues to focus on its core competencies – architectural woodwork and custom business interiors.
