Innovation in Action: The Success Story of HWC Custom Cabinetry with DES's Advanced CNC Solutions

In 2004, Jay Miller embarked on a bold venture with HWC Custom Cabinetry. As a small shop with grand aspirations, HWC was dedicated to delivering exquisite, custom cabinetry directly to its clients. But as the business flourished, expanding to 15 dedicated employees, Jay realized it was time to upgrade his equipment, particularly in the CNC arena.

HWC's challenge went beyond simply acquiring faster machinery; it was about identifying equipment that perfectly aligned with their requirements. Jay was in search of more than just speed – he wanted efficiency and precision. It was Diversified Equipment & Supply (DES) that captured his interest with their comprehensive approach. DES stood out by offering not only hardware, but also a complete solution comprising software and machine expertise.

When HWC experienced a surge in demand, it became clear that they needed machinery capable of maintaining their high-quality output. DES, under the leadership and experience of Jim Paden, stepped in to provide solutions that not only promised high precision but also seamlessly fit into HWC's limited manufacturing space. The Anderson Selexx wood router, recommended by DES, proved to be a game-changer for HWC, effectively addressing both current and future demands.

“I wasn’t concerned about a machine moving 6,000 inches a minute, but more about what I could get out of it. Diversified thinks much more holistically about your situation... I always appreciated what Jim and the DES team bring to the table. They are fluent in the software as well as the hardware end of things. They can bring it all together, not just sell me a machine. So, I knew they would be a good fit.”

DES's unique approach, prioritizing practicality over extravagance, resonated with Jay. Jim Paden's hands-on comparison method, highlighting the superior build quality of their machinery, solidified the decision for HWC. DES didn't just install the router; they transformed HWC’s entire workspace. They reimagined the shop layout, accommodating new workflows and optimizing every inch of space.

“Until you’ve worked with a good machine and understand the benefits, you think you can save money with a machine that costs $90,000 instead of $150,000...but it’s like saying a BMW and a Yugo are the same. So, I tell [anyone who asks] to talk to Jim.”

As HWC continues to grow and thrive, Jay Miller looks back at his decision to work with DES as a pivotal moment. The partnership with DES didn't just provide a machine; it propelled HWC into a new era of cabinetry excellence.
