Who We Are

North America’s largest manufacturer and distributor of interior millwork producing and selling interior finishings. We have been steadily growing our footprint and industry leadership for nearly 100 years. Established in 1926, still owned by the founding family, we continue to have the same focus on product excellence and a superior customer experience. We help people transform houses into homes. You’ve probably seen our products in the media featured on tv shows and magazines such as HGTV, Style At Home and House & Home, or by one of our Instagram influencers.

With us, you’re more than just a number. We work hard to create a home for our Metrie family where you are empowered to be your best every day. Your contributions matter to us! We take pride in our culture of learning, ownership, and one team, and are committed to cultivating a diverse and inclusive workplace for everyone.
