With more than 25 years in business, the spirit of change has been the constant driving force behind Northern Contours. We are driven by change to be better, to create inspiring & quality products, and to be responsive to our industry and customers. This is our story. Northern Contours was founded in 1992 in Fergus Falls, Minnesota by Mike Rone & Duaine Miranowski with the goal of bringing "membrane pressing" to the US market.
With its start in Europe in the 1980s, membrane pressing was the new, cost-effective way to manufacture cabinet doors, and in the US, kitchen cabinet companies were becoming very interested in it. With our focus on Membrane Press technology, the vision for Northern Contours was to be a flexible, responsive company capable of competitive lead times & great customer service.
From 1992 through the early 2000s, membrane pressed cabinet doors were our "bread & butter, " thanks to the booming housing market and great demand for kitchen & bath cabinets. Wood Veneer panels were also a large part of our business in the early years.

Northern Contours is one of the most highly qualified & experienced pressers of cabinet doors and surfaces in North America.
Membrane Pressing 3D Laminate (Thermofoil) and Wood Veneer is the technique that put us on the map.
It's an art that we've spent 25 years perfecting, and we're excited to share our expertise with you.
Thermofoil cabinet doors and surfaces begin with an engineered core that's 100% recycled, EPA-CPA certified, and CARB II compliant.
After cutting and routing the core to desired door styles and profiles, the board goes through a gluing process.

Northern Contours excels at Miter Folding techniques to create floating shelves, thick surfaces, and modern 3-dimensional components.
A more economical choice than solid surface alternatives and free of the "brown line" commonly seen on HPL components, miter folding techniques provide a modern look that tops the competition.
Miter Folding begins with Northern Contours' highly efficient PUR Lamination line.
This machinery allows for a faster turnaround, a very high substrate to material bond strength, and a higher resistance to heat and moisture.
