About Us

We are a manufacturing facility located in Mukilteo, Washington. We want our workplace to be one of joy and learning, which is why we are committed to developing people through a culture of Continuous Improvement. To fund these efforts, we produce high-quality upholstered goods and provide design services to line-minded customers.  

Our Values

We believe that producing high-quality work together in flow is the best method to realize our full potential and experience joy daily. We are committed to living out our three core values: 

Know and Show the Truth

We know and show the truth by implementing our work plans in accordance with the laws of nature to influence desired outcomes.    

Best for Our Best

We treasure the opportunity to use our talent to make a meaningful impact; inspired to give our best for our best – people and organizations who value our collective efforts. 

Improve Everyday

We understand waste is ever present and can only be reduced by taking action to improve every day.

Together, these values create space for collaboration and innovation and provide abundant opportunities for our full potential to shine.

How We Work

Each of our clients have unique business, certification, and information requirements that equip them to run efficiently. We take the time to understand these systems and adapt our methods to fit. Our infrastructure allows us to focus on logistics so that we deliver on time, create high-quality products, and reduce costs together.

Manufacturing Solutions

We carefully integrate our clients’ needs and desires with our experience to provide solutions for industrial and consumer applications. These go through our design, integrate, and build process.
