I personally enjoy the challenge
of sourcing and locating unique
materials from all around the
country and helping the company
grow. Delivering great quality
and providing a unique product
for customers,
really makes
me feel good
about my work.
Connor Burns has been with us for 20 years and is now
the Vice President of Production. He has helped Elmwood
cultivate relationships with fantastic suppliers from all over
the country, and he says that on top of our dedicated team,
it’s those suppliers that help make our products so unique.
“You’re only as good as the wood you’re working with, and
we learned along the way that building relationships with
good, trustworthy partners allows us to get the highest
quality products to our customers with great efficiency.”

He enjoys the challenge of sourcing and locating unique
materials from around the country, and says “building
partnerships, helping the company grow, recycling
materials, and providing a unique product for customers
really makes me feel good about my work, and that’s one
of the biggest things that keeps me here.” Connor also
believes that the high quality of our products is a result
of Elmwood’s unique culture. “Woodworking is hands-on,
labor-intensive, and process-oriented. What comes from
that is that with good people supporting each other, you
can get lost in the work and it becomes a relaxing, stressfree environment. That’s what we have here, and it helps
us create beautiful, high-quality products.”
