Critical to that scale and efficiency is IT’s strategic investment in our system of five mill facilities that complement and support each other. These innovative Mini Mills, compact frame operations are either near or inside our customers’ facilities and deliver frames on a just-in-time basis, greatly reducing freight and storage expenses. Three important objectives that our mills fulfill:

	01 Sourcing and processing the highest quality wood products domestically and internationally. (Although IT is a vertically-integrated frame fabricator now, we actually got our start as a lumber wholesaler.)
	02 Employing and training highly technical R&D professionals who design and engineer superior ready-to-assemble wooden furniture frames at a lower cost while at the same time providing customers with superior products.
	03 Offering proprietary logistics and mission-critical frame components on a just-in-time basis to upholsters directly to the assembly line floor.
