HISTORY Over four decades ago, CFI was established by three visionaries well-versed in wood panel processing and chemical coatings. Originally focused on supplying the growing furniture industry around High Point, North Carolina, the company quickly expanded its footprint. Despite challenges from imported goods leading to a decline in the residential wood furniture sector, CFI adapted. Under new ownership led by Chris Wilkins, CFI has undergone significant transformations. With multiple plants, the company now boasts higher volume outputs and has diversified into supplying cut-to-size parts for displays and fixtures. The manufacturing processes and raw materials have seamlessly transitioned, allowing CFI to thrive in these new markets. Incorporating cutting-edge technology, such as Miltec in UV drying and GSE paint dispensing, CFI has elevated its capabilities. The addition of CNC machining, custom paint and UV flat line coatings, edgebanding, finishing, lithographic mounting, laser cutting, and engineering services has further positioned CFI as an industry leader. Today, the company not only meets the demands of furniture manufacturing but has successfully penetrated diverse sectors. With a focus on prototyping and serving as an OEM for furniture and POP, CFI delivers exceptional quality and efficiency. The commitment to innovation is evident in the incorporation of Miltec technology for UV drying and GSE paint dispensing, ensuring top-notch finishes and access to millions of color combinations. Under Chris Wilkins’ leadership, CFI remains at the forefront of the industry, combining decades of expertise with cutting-edge technology to deliver precision, quality, and adaptability to an ever-evolving market. THE CFI ADVANTAGE Custom Finishers was established in 1976 to supply the furniture industry with thin woodgrain printed hardboard (Masonite) back panels accurately matched in color and grain pattern to the customers spray finished wood. These panels saved the furniture manufacturers cost on raw material and allowed them to more efficiently use their finishing capacity for their wood components. Today, 40 years later, we provide engineering, complex fabrication, painting and woodgrain printing on MDF, hardboard and other wood composites. We have embraced technology with CNC machinery (routers, lasers and saws), and high solids water based and UV cured coatings. We have the expertise to help design for manufacturability, saving time and money in the process. Flexible manufacturing enables us to capably produce short- or long-run volume while automation ensures repeatable accuracy. Our facility in High Point, N.C. features 50,000 square feet of manufacturing. We use two unattached warehouses for raw material and storage of finished goods as needed. Our Thomasville, N.C.
