Plato, Minnesota is a small farming community about an hour outside Minneapolis. Well over 100 years ago the Pinske family started woodworking in various forms finally settling into the cabinet business. Their dedication to their craft and their employees has allowed them to prosper. They are family & community oriented with some families in their third generation with the company. They know the biggest asset they have is their employees.
Plato Woodwork’s product is different. It is the culmination of over 100 years of running a successful woodworking business. Incredibly efficient, spotlessly clean and healthy are words we would use to describe their single facility. Being a woodworker myself I am always in awe when I visit. That dedication to improvement over the years means that they are able to produce a very high end product without undue cost, waste or inefficiency. It means they are able to offer their product at a reasonable cost.
Plato Woodwork’s workmanship reflects a commitment to high quality. It is the product of their dedicated work force. They have a staff of seasoned tradesman of men and women.
Plato’s finishes stand out. They are usually the first thing that new clients identify with as high quality. That makes sense because that is what you see. Plato’s finishing process is second to none using a full additional coat beyond what most cabinet manufacturers provide. They use Industrial grade products which are typically unavailable to local craftspeople. Sanding between coats is done by hand. Ovens cure the product. Tolerances are very tight and product is calibrated for humidity to assure that it will look as good when it gets to you as when it left the facility.
The finishing area of the facility is incredibly clean and uses a vapor reclamation system that recycles their solvents. Because the finishing is done by hand there is a great attention to detail. They offer an incredible array of specialty finishes. In the end it is not how the finish looks when you get it new but what it looks like 10 years down the road. Plato’s finish will look as good as new in 10 years. That’s a claim that the majority of fabricators cannot make. In fact, Plato keeps a sample of each kitchen they do and should you need a new cabinet or door 10 years down the road they will pull that sample and color match to it.
Plato just celebrated 125 years of providing . Since 1893, Plato Woodwork has established a legacy of building quality cabinetry to create functional and beautiful spaces. Cabinetry built in the USA and committed to environmentally sound practices for the benefit of our employees and customers. They strive to ensure an unparalleled customer experience relying on five generations of industry knowledge and promise to stand behind our products with honesty and integrity.
We are excited to be apart of the Plato Woodwork Family.
