- Conestoga Wood Specialties
-
Conestoga Wood Specialties is a manufacturer of wood doors and components for kitchen, bath and furniture, based in East Earl, Pennsylvania. They have seven factories, located in Arkansas, Maryland, North Carolina, Utah, and Pennsylvania, employing about 2100.
The company was founded in 1964 by brothers Norman and Samuel Hahn[1] and several others, working from a garage in East Earl, Pennsylvania.[2] The company is still owned by Norman Hahn, one of the brothers. Anthony Hahn (son of Norman Hahn) is currently the CEO. One of their plants is across the road from that original garage, at 245 Reading Road.[2] They have added plants in Beavertown, Pennsylvania, Darlington, Maryland (the Darlington Facility closes late 2007), Mountain View, Arkansas, Jacksonville, Arkansas, Kenly, North Carolina, and Tooele, Utah.[2]
Although the company deals both with manufacturers ordering thousands of pieces at a time, and custom shops needing one-off orders, they deal only with the trade, declining retail orders. Retail customers can purchase Conestoga products through Northwoods International Enterprises Inc. on their website at www.northwoodsdoors.com [1]
They are one of the largest employers of all manufacturing companies in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.[3]
