Continental Woodcraft

What Continental Woodcraft does

Continental Woodcraft is a custom architectural millwork and casework manufacturer founded in 1981 and headquartered in a 60,000-square-foot manufacturing and finishing facility at 7 Coppage Drive in Worcester, Massachusetts. The company designs, engineers, fabricates, finishes, and installs bespoke wood components — including wall and ceiling panels, window and door casings, cabinetry, casework, and specialty displays — for projects in healthcare, education, high-end residential, government, municipal, retail, hospitality, and corporate interiors. Its technical stack centers on 3D engineering software for shop drawings and technical submittals, augmented by state-of-the-art CNC and finishing machinery that enables complex geometries, color matching, and pre-finishing. Certifications include AWI QCP licensed membership (Architectural Wood Institute Quality Control Program) and FSC Chain-of-Custody certification (SCS-C168827), which qualify the firm for regulated and sustainability-mandated projects.

The company operates a B2B project-based revenue model, sourcing work through formal bid invites from general contractors, architects, and facility managers across New England and New York. Individual projects range from approximately $50,000 to over $1 million in value, with a portfolio that includes Mount Sinai Hospital, NYU Langone Student Center, 220 Central Park South, the New York Public Library renovation, the United Nations Model Ship Display, and Malden City Hall. Pricing is quote-based and determined per project through the bid process and direct consultation, with multi-year contract cadences reflecting the long-tail nature of large commercial buildouts.

Continental Woodcraft is privately held and operates as a brand under BlueHive, Inc., which acquired the company in 2009 and shares the Worcester manufacturing facility with sister company BlueHive Exhibits (a trade show exhibit designer). Paul Hanlon serves as Chairman (and CEO of BlueHive), with Caitlyn Correia as President & CEO. The firm employs between 11 and 50 staff, including certified Journeymen, cabinet makers, CAD engineers, project managers, and finishers, supported by trade-school apprenticeship partnerships. Revenue is not publicly disclosed, and the company has not raised external funding.
