We constantly seek out trend forward solutions and materials, while empowering our craftsman with advanced technology and the freedom to explore, create and innovate. We have a team that is steeped with midwestern work ethic but at the same time, are at ease working in the most luxurious markets around the world. Some of our clients include Nordstrom, Rolex, citizenM, Ghirardelli, Louis Vuitton, Saint Laurent, Chanel, Jimmy Choo, Dolce & Gabbana, Neiman Marcus, and Tiffany & Co. Our facility is located in Hutchinson, Minnesota. We are currently hiring, but our standards are high. Whether it’s installation, production, management or a team role – we seek out only the best.
