Goldman, created Ohio's largest electrical distributor on his bicycle. In 1956, Edgar Mertz promised his wife that he would build her a kitchen, if only she would let him buy a $47 table saw. Having earned a Harvard MBA, Stanford C. Goldman grew the company by moving its location to Portland, IN; quadrupled the square footage of the manufacturing facility; added a professional marketing campaign; and created a management and production team that, to this day, boasts an average seniority of over 10 years of Pennville experience. My father continued the family tradition. At the age of five, I first walked through the factory and fell in love at first sight. Although I had never imagined a career anywhere else, my father announced in 1990 that I would take over his position as President of Pennville Custom Cabinetry. Over the past years, our high-end custom cabinets have been featured in some of the most beautiful homes throughout the country. We have turned into a state-of-the-art facility with a dynamic, young management team. Our cabinetmakers are proficient with both chisels, and also sophisticated computer numeric controlled equipment. While our competitors may find buying their parts to be cost-effective, we have transformed cabinetry into a new level of art. Using our own tools, our cabinetmakers have created virtually every wood product, ranging from custom turnings and unique door styles to our signature furniture pieces in our high-tech 60,000 square foot facility. We continue to stain by hand as well as wax our panel doors and cabinetry the way the artisans of my grandfather's era perfected. Many cabinetmakers confidently say "I can do what Pennville can," even though it may be an item that they have never attempted to build before. The truth is: they cannot do what we do. Excellence in this industry is not simply being "handy." It is a matter of constructing the intricate cabinets, finishes, and accessories over and over, with a relentless pursuit of improvement . . . and then discussing them, in detail, at weekly management meetings until every Pennville craftsperson agrees that each item in our catalogue is extraordinary. We look forward to being a special part of your home, Mark S.

I had a small job, just needing two doors for a cabinet I had purchased, and from the get go was shown respect and treated like my project was most important to them. They went above and beyond to work with me being 30 miles away, meeting me at a designated place to take one of the smaller doors to match the cut and stain of an existing door, as well as deliver the finished doors to me. The job was done in a short time and I am thrilled with the workmanship! The stain and cut matches exactly and once they were installed looked as if they were always part of the cabinet. Corey and Nate were great, even coming to my house to figure out a small hinge problem I had and solving the issue for me. I highly recommend Pennville Custom Cabinetry for any custom project you may have, the workmanship is exemplary! > Sue Waples **Comment from Pennville Custom Cabinetry:** > Thank you for the nice comments! We try really hard to go beyond for our customers; but you were even nicer to us. We appreciate you!!! **★★★★★ — Dan Scholten, May 2016** > Pennville Custom Cabinetry has raised the bar in the high end cabinet market. > Their professionalism and attention to detail are second to none. They have this rare combination of cutting edge machinery and technology, along with the friendliest staff we have ever encountered. **★★★★★ — Expert Kitchen Designs, LLC, May 2016** > As a professional kitchen designer, I have worked with numerous cabinet lines over the last ten years. My experience with Pennville Custom Cabinetry over the last five years has been nothing but stellar. Whenever I have a client whose expectations are higher than the norm, this is my "go to" cabinetry choice. Without fail, Pennville delivers a "head and shoulders" above the rest quality product. From construction to finish, Pennville personifies the saying "beauty is as beauty does:" Additionally, unlike other manufacturers, they offer a high level of technical engineering based upon one's submitted design. I highly recommend Pennville to all designers, architects, builders, and homeowners for cabinetry. **★★★★★ — Doyle Coffin Architecture LLC, Nov. 2015** > Partnering with Pennville Custom Cabinetry allows our custom designs to be specifically detailed to each unique client and project. Doyle Coffin Architecture works closely with each homeowner to create inspirational and appropriate design solutions and Pennville's dedication to building only the highest quality custom cabinets makes our job that much easier. We are pleased to recommend Pennville to all of our clients! **★★★★★ — Thyme & Place Design LLC, Nov. 2015** > Since I began my own design firm in 2002 Pennville has been my marquis cabinet company. From custom doors and finishes to outstanding construction and customer service Pennville Custom Cabinetry stands alone. Not just limited to kitchen cabinetry, I have designed bathrooms, libraries, bars, furniture and even outdoor kitchens. Their innovative door styles and finishes combined with their hands on approach to designer support can not be found anywhere else in the industry. We are very proud to be part of the Pennville Custom Cabinetry family. **★★★★★ — GRANDIOR KITCHENS BATHS & CLOSETS, May 2014** > Pennville Custom Cabinetry is one of the best cabinet manufacturers out there and we, at Grandior Kitchen & Bath, are very proud to be representing this line. Pennville uses the best material in the industry to build their cabinets and every piece is made with lots of attention and care. Pennville is for the fussy folks and is one of a kind. We love Pennville! **★★★★★ — Adam Gibson Design, Nov. 2013** > Pennville Custom Cabinetry has provided casework for several of my designs. They've done two kitchens for me, numerous vanities, a custom dining table, and a very cool bar/entertainment room (that hasn't been shot yet; I'll post it once it has). I will use them again and again. Not only is their quality unsurpassed, but their design team always has valuable suggestions, catches the odd mistake, and delivers precisely what and when they say. I wish I'd known about them years ago! **★★★★★ — User, Nov. 2013** > We are thrilled with our partnership with Pennville. When the company says "custom cabinetry," it is true in every sense of the word. Our clients love that Pennville creates top quality cabinetry in beautiful styles and finishes (both timeless and up-to-the-minute). But we also love that Pennville is willing to to work with us on the smallest details, and when necessary for a design, even build us a new type of cabinet from scratch. > > Just one example: We are passionate about fully integrated appliances, and we are able to provide clients with completely flush ovens and refrigerators thanks to our trust in Pennville quality. When we ask for something they make it happen. And they're great people too! ## Selected projects - [Harry Garvey](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/harry-garvey-pj-vj~2401362) - Location: Saint Petersburg, FL - Photos: 24 - [Interiology](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/interiology-pj-vj~372772) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 23 - [Experiential Design Center](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/experiential-design-center-pj-vj~2807053) - Location: Portland, IN - Photos: 29 - [HISTORIC FARMHOUSE RENOVATION, Monkton, Maryland](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/historic-farmhouse-renovation-monkton-maryland-pj-vj~143131) - Location: Monkton, MD - Photos: 11 - Description: OBJECTIVE This 140-year-old brick farmhouse renovation included a small outdated kitchen.

Essentially, we opened up the kitchen by relocating the sink to a peninsula. We used Pennville Custom Cabinetry's "Epicure" full access line, in accordance with the client's request for full access type construction. All elements in this kitchen were carefully considered. Balance and symmetry was integral in our design approach along with keeping the essential work functions in their proper place. - [Silvera Properties](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/silvera-properties-pj-vj~955461) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 11 - [Swanson](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/swanson-pj-vj~341984) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 29 - Description: Karen Swanson owns New England Design Works located in Manchester, NH.
