Stevens Industries, Inc. stands as the largest manufacturer of commercial casework and architectural millwork in the United States. Established in 1956 by Charles 'Chuck' Stevens in a humble two-car garage, the company has grown remarkably over the decades, culminating in recognition as one of the fastest-growing wood manufacturers in the U.S. by Woodworking Network in 2015. The company specializes in high-quality casework, architectural millwork, and innovative textured-woodgrain panels. Product offerings also include specialty lines for laboratory casework and furniture, music and instrument storage, and childcare furniture, with notable brands like Stevens Advantage, StevensWood, Tot Mate, I.D. Systems, and Techline America.
Stevens Industries prides itself on its extensive Quality Assurance program, emphasizing customer care, product innovation, community investment, and environmental stewardship. Over the years, the company has undergone significant transformations and expansions, including the adoption of new technologies and techniques that have allowed it to remain at the forefront of the industry.
By the early 2000s, Stevens transitioned into employee ownership through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), fostering an entrepreneurial spirit among its workforce. Today, Stevens operates from 450,000 square feet of production space on 31 acres and employs over 500 individuals. The acquisition of a rail-served facility in 2018 further bolstered its production capabilities, particularly for StevensWood laminated panels.
With a nod to its rich history and commitment to innovation, Stevens Industries continues to deliver a comprehensive range of solutions in medical, educational, and commercial cabinetry and millwork. Its journey from a small garage to a dominant industry leader speaks to the perseverance and ingenuity of its founder and the dedicated team that upholds his legacy.
