Our Mission
We
strive for total customer satisfaction by providing the highest quality
workmanship in our wood products for the Kitchen and Bath Industry. All
orders, from one item to thousands, are manufactured to meet the customers'
needs in a timely manner. We support our community while providing opportunity,
a safe and secure work environment, and a continuously improving quality
of life for our dedicated employees.
Donald Dean, a native of
the hardwood forests of Pennsylvania's Endless Mountains, started a sawmill
operation in 1932. Soon to follow was a concentration yard and a wholesale
lumber business. By the early 1950's, a building with dry kilns was constructed
for the manufacture of wood parts and components. This was the beginning
of a company that has spanned 60 years and now uses the knowledge and
experience of three generations.
Our growth has seen further building expansions. There have been the addition
of a second plant, several modern dry kilns, lumber storage sheds and
a new office building. Recent capital improvements illustrate the commitment
of Donald Dean & Sons to quality and service. Completed in only the
last few years are a complete dust collection system, an automatic wood-waste
burning boiler and automated lumber-inspection and handling equipment.
These assure an uninterrupted, independent supply of properly kiln-dried
lumber. A computer system provides the flexibility to expedite accurately
an order for 500,000 fully machined frame parts or a single raised-panel
door.
Important to Donald Dean & Sons and its customers is a work force
that values skill and attention to detail. To apply their craft, our men
and women use machinery we have selected for dependability and sophistication.
In daily operation are double-end tenoners, automatic shapers, multi-head
mortisers and double-side profile sanders. To oversee their efficient
use and to guide future development, our personnel continue to widen their
education in wood technology, business management, furniture design, lumber
grading and computer programming.
Donald Dean & Sons maintains its position as a major supplier of wood
products on a stock production basis. We manufacture mortised and tenoned
frame parts, cabinet doors and drawer fronts, in addition to a variety
of face and edge-glued, moulded, shaped, routed, bored and sanded components.
Our custom operation, to which one plant is devoted, expanded our capacity
to include specialty doors and drawer fronts made in any quantity specified.
These products of exceptional quality are available to customers who require
responsive service and prompt delivery.
