About the project:
Schaad and Sons started almost two decades ago in a garage and has grown into a comprehensive 18,000-square-feet manufacturing facility and showroom employing thirteen full-time skilled staff and craftsmen.
“As a company, one of our guiding principles has been to embrace new technology to reinforce our commitment to consistent quality in the manufacturing of customized, hand-finished, high-quality, solid woods into architectural millwork and cabinets,” said owner Ryan Schaad.
According to Schaad, the company plans to invest over $150,000 to achieve growth goals for its products outside of the state of Ohio in both residential and commercial markets. The company plans to purchase four pieces of capital-intensive equipment that will create three new, full-time jobs at the facility.
