Finding vendors having sustainability as a mission is important to our interior design community and strengthens our responsibilities and mission to clients. Here is a vendor that exemplifies quality and sustainability.

Wood-Mode, LLC, is our country’s largest manufacturer of custom cabinetry for kitchens, baths and other rooms of the home. As a company, the culture is focused on collaboration with its employees, reps and dealers.

Wood-Mode Fine Custom Cabinetry’s focus is on the following:

• Ongoing Inspiration
• Innovation in Products and Business Principles
• Craftmanship Experience
• Collaboration & Celebration
• Sustainability

Sustainability has been part of the Wood-Mode family for decades before “green” became a trend.

The company’s current initiatives include:

• A new boiler installed in 2022 that has improved operational efficiency by 90% for heating and cooling;
• The installation of a sixteen-acre solar array located adjacent to the factory that powers 100% of two main buildings;
• The 2024 installation of an eight-acre rooftop solar array to power over one million square feet of the facility and, combined with the above array, will provide 80% of all electrical needs required factory wide;
• The addition of high-yield production equipment to minimize waste and optimize the use of raw materials;
• The use of lumber from local and regional vendors using responsible forestry management practices;
• Low-waste product development where even sawdust and wood scrap are ground into particles that are then sold to nearby farms for animal bedding;
