Crystal Cabinets

For my business I chose to do Crystal Cabinets because I worked there over the summer and I have a pretty good idea what they do there. It is a cabinet making business located in Princeton, MN. Crystal is a very friendly working environment so it was really fun to work there even though the hours I worked weren’t very convenient since I am not a morning person. They mostly only hire people that know other people that work there like family or friends and since I grew up in Princeton I knew a lot of people that worked there. I believe there are about 7 different departments in the building that I knew of: wood cutting, panel doors, painting, drawer making, assembly, and shipping. I myself worked in the painting department but I mostly sanded the pieces of the cabinets so then they could get painted.

Crystal Cabinets is a private business so they don’t sell their products to big businesses like Walmart, Menards, and etc. The cabinets are sold all throughout the world and they are mainly sold to homeowners or other small businesses because they are very expensive. I was looking through the ordering book they had there and the most expensive cabinet I saw was about $6,000. They were estimating on bringing in about $4 million in profits at the end of 2014. They really take pride in the way they make the cabinets with the amount of time it takes to get the details right.
