As Aetna Building Solutions looks ahead to our 90th anniversary in 2027, we’re taking another step forward.

Later this year, our website will transition from AetnaPlywood.com to AetnaBuild.com—a domain that better reflects who we are today.

We’ve grown from our roots in plywood to offer a wide range of decorative panels, surface solutions, hardwoods, plywood, hardware, and value-added fabrication services across the Midwest.

Our domain may be changing, but what matters most isn’t: our people, partnerships, products, and commitment to our customers.

Same Aetna. New domain. Built for what’s next.
