A Tale of Growth


MODERN STORE








EQUIPMENT















































W hen David Dunigan took over the family cabinetry business in 2006, it was anything but modern. But today, thanks
to his good business sense, Modern Store Equipment in Burlington, New Jersey has experienced rapid growth.
David says that the family business was begun by his father, Thomas Dunigan, in his grandmother’s basement
back in 1958. “Modern Store Equipment as it is today was begun as a supermarket case distributor. The woodshop was
added so we could provide a complete fixture package,” he explained. The little family shop grew modestly, and David
remembers cleaning out the saws as he grew up. “I began working there when I was 16, and I started working full time in
1980.” He also recalls going to school at night to earn his Associate degree. “Although I have been in the woodworking
business my entire life, I am not a woodworker,” he laughed. “Nobody in the office wants to see me with a tool in hand!”

Member Shop Profle … continued from page 9

It was no joke however, that when David took over his ailing
father’s position as head of the company in 2007, they were under
pressure. “At the time we had a staff of 15 people and an 8,000
square-foot facility. We had no automation to speak of, and we were
struggling mightily to keep up with our production needs,” David
recalled. “We were mostly a regional operation, with the majority of
our clients in New Jersey and Delaware.”
David says he and his team recognized the need to update their
production. “In 2008 we took our first step to automation with a used
Holzma panel saw,” he said. “Our world was changed forever. We

CCF Drawers


Rising Above the Ashes

CF Industries is a national supplier of high-quality dovetail draw-
ers, located in Western Pennsylvania. President, Ken Clifton, has
C overcome significant obstacles, including every woodworker’s
worst fear, to get where he is today.
Ken began making custom furniture in 1982 and switched to
drawer boxes in 1995. The motivation behind the switch was two-
fold. “The primary reason for the switch was practical: we had gotten
to the point in our business where we had one main customer, which
is always a dangerous place to be,” said Ken. “But in addition to
wanting to diversify our customer base, I also felt that it was best to
focus on one thing and to do that well.”
Ken chose to concentrate on offering the best dovetail and dowel
and bore drawer boxes made from melamine, Baltic birch plywood,
and solid hardwoods.
While CCF’s product offering was reduced to a niche, the result
was a large increase in customers. With this change, Ken felt he could
build a thriving business that had a solid future. “I never wanted my
business to be a one-man show,” he said. “I always wanted a business
that could survive without me.”
After the events of April 2014, this goal was put to a strenuous test.
In April of 2014, soon after suffering a personal tragedy, Ken
was in Florida when he received more devastating news: his facility
was on fire. “It was a woodworker’s worst nightmare,” he recalled.
He flew home and arrived on scene only to witness his business had
suffered a total loss. The office staff and production manager had
already been on site to help where they could. “They went to work,
first contacting the insurance agent as well as our customers, before I
even got home. I appreciated their support so much.”
The fire took place on a Friday, so throughout the weekend
the team worked together to come up with a strategy to continue
business from a temporary office space offered to them from a
good friend of Ken’s. “Giving up was not an option,” Ken said.
“We were there to figure out how to move forward.” The strategy
12 PROFILES • Volume 16 • Issue 2, 2016 • www.cabinetmakers.org

for doing business while the new facility would be built was to
filter as much business through their office as possible by working
with friendly competitors–whom Ken knew and respected through
years of business.
The most painful part of the struggle was getting the new facil-
ity built. “We had a great insurance team,” Ken explained, “but the
builder we had hired was unfortunately unmotivated.” After almost
nine months of waiting, a completion date of December 2014 was
clearly not going to happen, so CCF worked out a deal with two
nearby customers to share equipment while they got a new contrac-
tor to complete their facility. “Finally, in September of 2015, our
state-of-the-art plant was completed,” said Ken, “and in December of
2015, the new office space was ready as well.”
Most customers were very understanding, Ken reported, but
there’s no denying it was a really difficult two years. “Through it
all, my staff was just phenomenal. I can’t say enough about my
office team. They were there every step of the way, and through
this experience we grew in confidence, customer management, and Ken’s story is about the triumph of perseverance and team work,
problem-solving.” but it’s also a great example of the woodworking industry: how they
