about us

We are technology entrepreneurs, craftsmen, and workers. Combining the skills of traditional craftsmanship with the advancement of technology has made Hansen & Company Woodworks successful in becoming complete fabricators of raw materials in efficient and exceptional ways.

We were a startup that quickly became a leading competitor in the cabinet, caseworks, and millworks industry. We love our team, our clients, our products, our shop but most of all, we love continuing to learn to bring it all together and strive for a stronger tomorrow.

A rogue of convention, our founder, Adam Hansen, continues to lead the company in unexpected but successful ways. We are leaders in building the most technologically advanced woodworks company in the Midwest, developing relationships and products just as strong and unique along the way.

We’ve grown in both who we are as well as what we do. Our team of over thirty innovators continues to encourage us to be our best.

WHAT WE DO

 

 

We are not only a cabinet shop, we are not only a millworks shop, we are not only a countertop shop, upholstery shop, or even a metal shop. But we are a woodworks organization, we start with wood products and pair those with any finish that complements or completes all works of wood.

Our portfolio has grown from cabinets, millworks, and countertops to institutional caseworks and prefinishing services to all finishes of metal, upholstery, and more that completes our wood products.

We strive to give our employees the best skills and resources, ensuring their success. Adam and the team are constantly learning about the most innovative technology in the industry and determining how it can provide the best working environment for our team while delivering the best products for our clients.

HOW WE STARTED

 

 

Adam Hansen founded the company in 2004 with little money, little space, but a lot of dedication. Known then as A-Cab Custom Woodworking, the company started with building fireplace mantles and custom residential cabinetry by traditional skilled trades Adam learned from his father’s own entrepreneurship.

With $1,500, Adam was able to secure a small loan and moved forward with starting the business. After a lot of thought the company was named by combining the first initial of Adam’s name, “A”, and the abbreviation for Cabinets, “Cab”: A-Cab Custom Woodworks.

Name in hand, the company started in its first location in Waite Park. With a simple equipment setup including a table saw, drill press, line drilling machine, primitive hand-fed edgebander, and enough materials to start work.

After the first year, A-Cab Custom Woodworking moved to St. Joseph and has continued to grow in size, team, products, services, technology, operations, and business.
