It’s disheartening to hear about the headaches our customers have dealt with in the cabinetry process before they got to us.
Cabinetry is essential to any home or institution, so why is it so difficult to find a partner that makes the process enjoyable?

The Mullwoods Story
A Legacy of Craftsmanship and Innovation
In the picturesque heart of Ohio’s Amish Furniture Country, a dream took root in 1959 that would grow to define excellence in custom cabinetry. It began with Jake Mullet, a visionary craftsman with a passion for woodworking, who started building custom kitchen cabinetry with the humblest of beginnings—without a proper shop and with minimal tools. This wasn’t just the start of a business but the foundation of a legacy that would span generations.
Jake’s dream was simple yet profound: to own a shop equipped with modern tools where craftsmanship could flourish without the constraints of moving from job to job. This dream began to unfold in a fortunate turn of events in 1965 when Jake was offered a position in a small custom cabinet shop. Little did he know this opportunity would catalyze a family legacy far beyond his initial aspirations.
The journey of Mullwoods is a testament to resilience, innovation, and the enduring power of family. From the ashes of a devastating fire in 1974 to the establishment of a premier cabinetry manufacturer, the narrative of Mullwoods is woven with milestones of growth, moments of challenge, and leaps of faith. The evolution from a small shop on the premises to a leader in the industry, embracing cutting-edge technology and expanding into new markets, reflects a relentless pursuit of excellence.
As we turn the pages of Mullwoods’ history, we celebrate not just the achievements and expansions but the people behind the scenes—the family members, employees, and community that have been integral to its success. The story of Mullwoods is not just about building cabinets; it’s about building dreams, fostering innovation, and crafting a legacy that continues to inspire and influence the timeless beauty of custom cabinetry.
Join us as we delve into the rich tapestry of Mullwoods’ history, a story of dreams realized, challenges overcome, and a future bright with possibility.
