What MTContract does

MTContract (legal entity: Mediatechnologies LLC) is a privately held, family-operated custom furniture manufacturer headquartered at 892 Industrial Park Drive in Shelby, Michigan. The company produces seating, tables, desks, shelving and bookcases, storage, lecterns and technology carts, privacy screens, and visual/acoustical products under the MTContract Collection, mediatechnologies, and acquired izzy+ sub-brands (Hannah, Bola, Smile, Arc, Forum). It serves K-12 education, higher education, public libraries, corporate, healthcare, and government customers, with a particular strength in educational, library, and media-space environments built over more than 30 years of operating history.

The company combines a catalog offering with bespoke custom furniture development, supported by the CET Designer platform for 2D/3D space planning that imports AutoCAD or Revit floor plans and integrates fabric specifications from Mayer, CF Stinson, Momentum, KnollTextiles, and DesignTex via the MTSelect finish system. Certifications including GREENGUARD Gold, LBC Red List Free, REACH, CFFA-Healthcare-201, and LEED information support specification into healthcare and education projects.

MTContract distributes through an authorized dealer and sales representative network organized by US state, supplemented by approved-vendor status on multiple state purchasing contracts (Connecticut, New Jersey, Kansas, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, South Carolina) and national cooperative purchasing agreements (OMNIA/NCPA, MHEC, NJSDA, ESCNJ). Revenue is generated through one-time project-based furniture sales and professional design services, with quote-based pricing and no disclosed minimums. The firm employs 51–100 people, has no disclosed institutional ownership or external funding, and competes on customization, specification support, and contract accessibility rather than on price or technology differentiation.
