40 Years in the Making
We take pride in the fact that we’ve been family owned and
operated since day one. Don Jesse founded Monarch Cabinetry over
40 years ago in 1978 in Decatur, Illinois. After 8 years of making
cabinetry in several different facilities, including a two-car garage
turned workshop, Monarch packed its bags in 1986 and headed 35
miles south east to the small town of Sullivan, Illinois, where we’ve
been located ever since.
Although our address has stayed the same since then, we’ve still

been growing and expanding our facilities along the way. We’ve
expanded our facilities 5 times since our move, giving us over
70,000 square feet of manufacturing space.
At Monarch, we use a combination of both traditional handcrafting
and state-of-the-art computerized equipment. We manufacture all
of our own hardwood products, such as our doors, mouldings, and
frames. We cut all of our panels, cabinet boxes, shelves and other

large flat pieces on our CNC Router, which cuts each piece with
extreme precision.
This means that we control the process and quality of each
component from start to finish. Each cabinet is made to order,
creating cabinetry specifically for you and your home. We strive to
bring you the best value, quality, and selection. From kitchen
perimeters, islands, & vanities, all the way to walk-in-closets, drop
zones, and man caves, Monarch Cabinetry has what you need.
