BUILD PRODUCTS THAT LAST
We build products that last, reducing the need for replacement. We believe that starts with selecting and constructing cabinets and accessories with the right materials, and producing products in facilities that are designed to generate as little waste as possible. Our cabinets are built with enduring, natural materials that stand the test of time.
For generations, our skilled artisans have crafted each Medallion cabinet by hand. We always seek out the highest quality wood products for our cabinetry, and know that the best timber is found in carefully managed, flourishing forests here in the United States.
By choosing Medallion, you are joining an endeavor to protect our environment for the next generation and bringing the beauty of America’s natural treasures to your home. Our family’s experienced craftsmanship ensures that your Medallion cabinets will see many years of memorable family moments.
By partnering with ecologists, forestry experts, and wildlife biologists, we improve the health of the hundreds of acres of timberlands that our suppliers manage across the country. And we ensure a thriving legacy in each forest by replacing every tree harvested with two new seedlings.

Contribution to LEED Points
Whether you’re striving to achieve LEED certification for a project, or you’re simply interested in practicing good environmental principles, Medallion, as a responsible manufacturer, utilizes sustainable processes that may contribute towards LEED certification points. Medallion may help your building or project achieve LEED certification by contributing towards credits in two areas: Materials and Resources and Regional Materials.
Partnering with Suppliers
Medallion has chosen to make a difference with our products by partnering with suppliers to ensure continued environmental stewardship. We select materials manufactured to meet or surpass current regulatory requirements, including low formaldehyde emissions. We have substantially reduced our emissions by working in partnership with our finish suppliers to develop improved coatings and filtration systems.
Energy Efficiency
Our paint curing ovens utilize the latest in computerized quartz light technology. The ovens only heat and cure the applied finish material which makes them 50 percent more efficient than conventional gas ovens. The oven bulbs have a 10-year life, or 20,000 hours.
Clean Air
Sawdust generated in our manufacturing process are siphoned through a filtration system, removing 99.99% of dust particles down to 10 microns in size. The filtration system in our paint department removes 99.97% of particulate matter, keeping our air clean.
Waste Reduction
By deploying an innovative Cyclomix technology in our facilities, we’ve dramatically changed the way wood finishes are prepared for application by automatically mixing only what is needed and catalyzing the material just before being sprayed on the cabinets. Proven technology and accurate proportioning eliminates the need to estimate, reducing waste.
