On October 3rd, 2023, Tharp Custom Cabinetry proudly acquired Boulder Mills, a strategic move that enhances the strengths of both companies. This partnership adds Boulder Mills’ competency in custom millwork, specialty engineering, and fabrication to Tharp’s automated custom casework manufacturing allowing each company to broaden their offering to meet our customers’ needs.
Boulder Mills continues to focus and grow in their current commercial market specifically medical, tenant improvement, multifamily public spaces, and restaurants. Wit
h the addition of Tharp’s production capability utilizing high automation, and Lean manufacturing, Boulder Mills has begun leveraging a lower manufacturing cost through Tharp on traditional casework to provide a competitive advantage in Boulder Mills’ current market. With the transfer of casework to Tharp, Boulder Mills will continue to grow their capabilities in custom division 6 millwork, specifically expanding into custom architectural millwork, while utilizing Tharp’s capability in hardwoods processing, and automated finishing.
Over the last few years, Tharp has expanded from the custom residential market by suppling and installing residential multifamily unit scope to several Class A multifamily complexes including Academy at Mapleton Hills, Encore Castlerock, and Walnut Crossing among others. With the addition of Boulder Mills, Tharp will continue to offer high volume, casework for the residential unit scope, while adding the capability to offer custom millwork and casework in the public spaces under 1 contract. While Boulder Mills continues to build capability in highly custom millwork and casework, Tharp has begun utilizing Boulder Mills to offer custom architectural millwork in the residential market, a move that allows Tharp to expand further into the luxury single family home market.
With Tharp’s capability in high volume casework to reduce cost, and Boulder Mills capability in custom millwork and casework, each company has and will continue to operate independently, at separate manufacturing locations allowing individual management methods for the distinctly different scopes of work. With the financial backing and employee benefits offered through Tharp, Boulder Mills has a greater ability to expand through investment and retain and attract employee talent. Because of this, our customers have continued to receive the same high level of service they’ve come to expect.
We look forward to the continued success of our collaboration and are excited to provide enhanced capabilities to our valued clients.
