Lancaster County, the heart of the American cabinet manufacturing industry, has a history of wood working excellence. From generation to generation, the dedication to quality craftsmanship has been passed down. Thus, the Heritage manufacturing team is made up of experienced, highly skilled cabinetmakers, carpenters and finishers. Our workforce has grown to over 200 fine men and women who believe in the old fashioned work ethic: taking pride in doing their jobs right the first time, recognizing the importance of their contributions to the success of the company.
THE HERITAGE PLANT. Begun in a 10,000 square foot building at the present New Holland location, production volume was originally set at 90 cabinets per week. Today, 23 years and three major building expansions later, we have 150,000 square feet of plant and office space. With the most recent major manufacturing plant expansion, Heritage Custom Kitchens gained the core capabilities required to produce well engineered, totally custom kitchens, bathrooms, and other fitted room furniture.
TECHNOLOGY AND CRAFTSMANSHIP. At Heritage, we are committed to hand craftsmanship. Mass production is not a part of Heritage's way. Assembly-style production is only employed to minimize waste and increase efficiency in simple operations. Our state-of-the-art Holzma saw, for example, uses a computer to determine cut configurations which maximizes the yield of each sheet of cabinet case material. Only a sliver of waste remains after all the cabinet component parts are cut. By mechanizing routine operations, our expert staff can concentrate on the fine hand crafted procedures which are the hallmark of Heritage cabinetry.
PARTNERING WITH SUPPLIERS. To further ensure the total quality of our product, Heritage has worked hard to develop partnerships with preferred suppliers. This strategic partnership means that we only work with companies dedicated to continuous product innovations, and who actively search for quality improvements.
