What Ferche Millwork does

Ferche Millwork is a U.S. hardwood millwork manufacturer founded in 1958 by Bob Ferche and headquartered in Rice, Minnesota. The company operates through four sub-brands — Ferche Millwork (flagship hardwood mouldings and veneered millwork), Ferche Frames (real-wood architectural door frames), Fire-Rated Frames (Intertek/QAI-certified wood door frames rated 20–90 minutes), and Ferche Lumber (kiln drying services and dried lumber). Ferche produces over 13,000 distinct products annually across more than 100 wood species, including 2,047 casing profiles, 1,308 solid interior jambs, 767 base patterns, and 201 astragals, and operates a Tennessee lumber yard in addition to its Minnesota headquarters.

Manufacturing relies on a dual-line Weinig moulder system — high-speed moulders for commodity runs of 1,000–50,000 feet and smaller moulders for job-lot orders from one piece to 1,000 feet — alongside two dedicated veneer work centers (flat line for substrate-pressed profiles and wrap line for face-and-edge wrapping). The company runs its own lumber concentration facility with capacity to dry over 1,000,000 board feet at a time, controlling moisture content to 6–8% to prevent casehardening. Moulder operators average 20 years of in-house experience, and standard lead times run approximately two weeks with many SKUs available from on-hand inventory.

Ferche sells exclusively through authorized distributors, dealers, and OEM partners, never direct to end users. Pricing is quote-based and concealed behind the Pro-File Quoting System at quotes.ferche.com, which is gated to channel accounts. Customer segments include millwork distributors, building materials distributors, cabinet/casework/commercial millwork shops (AWI), retail lumber yards/LBM dealers, Division 8 door-frame-hardware distributors, OEM manufacturers, and at the persona level architects, designers, contractors, and building owners. Distribution reaches North America coast-to-coast and select international markets. Ferche is a subsidiary of the Hoffmann Family of Companies.
