Celebrating 50 Years of Excellence: Meridian Products’ Golden Anniversary

By Katie Van Blargan, Customer Service Team Lead & Marketing Strategist

2025 marks an incredible milestone at Meridian Products – our 50th anniversary! 

As we celebrate five decades of craftsmanship, innovation, and unwavering commitment to excellence in custom millwork and cabinetry, we can’t help but reflect on the remarkable journey that brought us to this occasion.

Humble Beginnings to Industry Leader

Our story began in 1975 when we were incorporated as International Traveler Trailer Corporation, originally founded as a division of Sunline Coach Company in the early 1970s.

What started as a small operation constructing cabinet doors for modular homes has evolved into one of the most respected names in the custom cabinetry industry.

Through years of dedication, innovation, and focus on quality, we evolved our business from serving the modular home market to becoming the premier choice for high-end custom cabinetry components. 

In 1995, we officially became Meridian Products, Inc., marking our focused commitment to producing the highest quality doors for the luxury custom cabinet industry.

Our Journey Through the Decades

The Early Years (1970s-1980s): Starting as a division focused on cabinet doors for modular homes, we gradually shifted our focus to serving cabinet shops in the lower-end housing market.

The Growth Years (1990s): By the early 1990s, we began manufacturing higher quality cabinet doors, reaching $4.5 million in sales by 1993 with a team of 90 employees.

The Transformation (1995-1999): Becoming Meridian Products marked our pivot to high-end custom cabinetry. Despite a devastating fire in 1999 that destroyed part of our facility, we rebuilt stronger – resuming production within two weeks and fully restoring our finishing capabilities in 4-1/2 months.

The Modern Era (2000s-Present): Continuous innovation and expansion, along with our ongoing passion to lead the industry in quality and service, has led us to where we are today.

Here’s to the next 50 years!
