Endless Customization

Our project management, engineering, and manufacturing systems have all been designed to optimize flexibility so we can be as responsive, efficient, and creative as possible. In other words, we're custom-built to perfectly execute all of your custom details, no matter what they are. One office or one-thousand, we handle every project with pride and every piece with precision craftsmanship.

Dedicated Project Team

Your project experience is led by a dedicated, in-house project manager. We provide detailed quotations, shop drawings, custom finish samples, and timelines to keep your project on track. HALCON anticipates challenges, generates ideas, and provides creative solutions at every step. We also pair your project manager with an experienced local HALCON representative. Combining a single point-of-contact at our facility with a strong local presence and an Open Line Dealer Network ensures the highest level of total service to our clients.

Craftsmanship

Craftsmanship

Genuine Craftsmanship

Genuine craftsmanship is blended with modern manufacturing processes to deliver the best quality products to our clients.

Hand-selected wood veneers are laid-up one office suite at a time, perfectly balanced and matched by skilled artisans. State-of-the-art manufacturing software tracks each unique part as it moves through our factory, each piece precision cut on sophisticated machinery. Millworkers clamp dowel-and-glue casework, hand-fit miters and hand-sand solid wood to ensure a perfect fit and precise detailing. Finishers skillfully apply wood stains to perfectly sanded veneers, resulting in a durable finish that enhances the inherent natural beauty of wood.

Sustainability

Sustainability

"From the time I was a child all my free hours have been spent in the woods and fields or along the streams of Southern Minnesota. My photography is inspired by my deep personal connection with the land and it's natural inhabitants. HALCON's commitment to good stewardship and environmentalism is neither new nor driven by market trends, but rather part of our core philosophy that has been present since the inception of the company."
