The Waddell Manufacturing company began operations in 1879 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. It was started as a manufacturer of wood products committed to the finest quality and old world craftsmanship. Early product categories included: mouldings, turnings, carvings, fretwork and custom-milled products that were available to professional craftsmen, distributors and oem manufacturers.

Over the last century and with assistance from our customers, we have evolved to become a full line supplier of many fine do-it-yourself, home décor and craft product lines. Waddell's focus on wood products has provided for growth into categories such as: dowels and accessories, furniture legs and components, shelving and storage, and our Phoenix Millwork line of victorian trim and decorative brackets. Our products can be found in home centers, hardware stores, craft retailers and distributors worldwide.

Today, the Waddell Manufacturing Company maintains its commitment to the finest quality and craftsmanship while continuing to innovate. Utilizing technology, we have integrated metal, plastic, and other composite materials into our product lines while expanding our services to include: product design, custom manufacturing, private labeling, and specialized distribution. Waddell's operations have continued to grow and now are executed on a worldwide basis to take advantage of today's global marketplace. These factors, coupled with over a century of experience, have made Waddell a success with our many business partners.
