Entrepreneurship at Millers Millworks

Barry Miller, co-owner of Millers Millworks, has been expanding operations over the last eight years and currently employs over 20 skilled workers. Miller, who began wood working in his basement, has turned his passion into a successful business in the Village of Bergen. The idea hatched while Miller was working with AV equipment. He noticed that there was no custom furniture to hold the equipment, and allow it to blend into a professional atmosphere. Miller formed an interest in creating this kind of furniture. He began working in his basement on custom wood furniture geared towards professional AV equipment users as well as general items including cabinets, tables, and chairs. Today Millers Millworks, Inc. creates custom crafted presentation furniture that is used in corporate board rooms, auditoriums, conference rooms, and class rooms. Miller's specializes in lecterns, podiums, credenzas, conference tables, teaching stations, and multi-media consoles. Over 65% of Miller's products are delivered to clients in the higher education industry including MIT, Harvard, Cornell, Temple, Yale, and Boston University. Other major contracts that have been filled by Miller include the United States Department of State, the United States Military, the Federal Reserve, General Electric, Walt Disney, Lockheed Martin, and British Airways.
