Heritage Hardwoods

What Heritage Hardwoods does

Heritage Hardwoods of Kentucky is a privately held custom hardwood veneer manufacturer founded around 1978-1979 and headquartered in Jeffersonville, Indiana. The company produces custom-cut veneer faces tailored to each customer's size, quantity, species, and grade specifications, serving three primary end markets: office furniture manufacturers, high-end cabinetry manufacturers, and architectural door manufacturers. Its product line spans most commercially available domestic, imported, and exotic species, graded to AWI and WDMA industry standards or customer-specific grade ranges.

The company's core technical differentiator is the proprietary 'Endless Log' process, a trade-secret-protected framework developed in collaboration with a door manufacturer and door supplier. This process establishes pre-approved grade ranges for specific species, enabling customer-selected veneer grades, lengths, and characteristics to be produced on a repeatable, reliable, and lean basis. Heritage Hardwoods has also developed Lean Veneer Programs that target customer operational pain points including material cost, response time, waste, yield, employee resource utilization, and storage requirements.

Heritage Hardwoods generates revenue through direct B2B sales on a quote-based pricing model, with customers requesting quotes via email, phone, or website contact form. The company operates a single production facility, completed a $1.6 million expansion in 2014 alongside hiring 14 additional employees, and markets itself through its website, email, Facebook, and economic development partnerships. It maintains sustainability affiliations with the Forest Stewardship Council and Hardwood Forestry Fund and employs 51-100 people.
