About Us – Komponents Laminated Products, Inc.

COMPANY HISTORY

Komponents Laminated Products was established in 1969. We first opened as a residential and commercial cabinet company. In the 1980s, we began branching into phenolic panel fabrication, selling components to OEMs. It was in this decade that the company made several purchases of CNC equipment to streamline and automate panel production.

In the 1990s and into the new millennium, our customer diversification continued. We saw great growth in the area of medical components, furniture, store fixtures and POP displays. Komponents also branched into machining other sheet plastics.

THE QUALITY IS IN THE DETAILS

We are a leading Midwest manufacturer of custom casegoods, furniture and components to customers in the hospitality, retail, senior living and medical fields. We combine high-tech production methods with Midwestern craftsmanship and innovation. At Komponents, the quality is in the details.

Our customer-focused culture enables us to respond to your orders quickly, while also maintaining exceptional build quality. We bring our clients into the design process early and ask plenty of questions – giving them a bigger voice in the finished product than they’ve been used to with other companies.
