PLATO WOODWORK, INC.
PLATO, MN

Since 1893, Plato Woodwork has earned its reputation as one of America’s finest custom cabinetry manufacturers and fashion leaders. The master craftsmen of the Pinske family have owned and actively managed their thriving company in the small Midwestern community of Plato, Minnesota for five generations. Just as importantly, we are committed to using domestic sources for our materials whenever possible. Though cheaper materials may be available, we feel that if you really want to say your product is “Made in the USA” there should be more to it than just assembling the product in America. And, since most of us grew up together here in rural Minnesota, you can imagine we are pretty dedicated to our local workforce and environment, too. You see, we are just as committed to the future generations who will one day be part of this company and community as we are respectful of our heritage. We appreciate your interest and hope you will consider Plato Woodwork for your cabinetry needs. Plato Woodwork Founded In 1893, Theodore Pinske, a hard-working son of German immigrants, began his construction business in Plato, Minnesota. Over the years he established a reputation for fine craftsmanship and added a lumberyard and millwork shop. He and his skilled workmen built many of the churches, schools, homes, and barns in the area. In the early 1960s, Edward’s son, Edward Jr. (“Pete”), took over the construction business, while Bob took over the millwork and cabinet shop, and the lumberyard went to youngest son, Tom. In 1968, Tim Pinske, Bob’s son, joined his father in the millwork and cabinet shop. It was around that time that Bob and Tim and his wife, Marlys, decided to specialize in manufacturing kitchen and bath cabinetry as Plato Woodwork, Inc., marketing it through a network of dealers.
