From humble beginnings in a garage, Milmonde evolved, carving out an enviable reputation as a true pioneer in custom cabinetry and millwork. As we expanded into Ontario, the Maritimes, and Eastern U.S., we were the first to adopt eco-friendly, water-based paints and stains, safeguarding both our team and our customers from VOC* exposure.

Fast forward to 2021. Jean-Michel Talbot, a seasoned engineer and manager, took the reins, fueled by visions of rapid growth and a determination to solidify Milmonde as the gold standard in green custom cabinetry and millwork. In 2023, with Annie Lessard becoming the second owner of the company, we streamlined operations, investing heavily in cutting-edge Industry 4.0 equipment and an advanced enterprise resource planning (ERP) system.

Milmonde has a clear vision for what lies ahead: we will continue to redefine the future of custom cabinetry through innovation, sustainability, and one-of-a-kind craftsmanship, solidifying our legacy as an industry trailblazer.
