IT is the country’s top provider of furniture infrastructure. We work with leading manufacturers to just-in-time supply the best designed, most efficient frames available, helping our customers improve quality while making a positive impact on their bottom line. 100,000 frames delivered each week, in fact. If you’re spending too much time and money running an internal mill and frame operation and it’s taking you away from other critical areas, IT can help.

Our ValueDriving costs down—and quality up.
Not only can we contribute to your bottom line through cost savings, we can also improve quality, adding to your brand’s value. Here’s how we do it:
MATERIALS SOURCING
With our scale and global relationships, IT procures high quality dimensional lumber and engineered wood at favorable prices.
MATERIALS LOGISTICS
Our proprietary just-in-time Buggy System provides a simple “erector-set” model ensuring all core frame components are in a predetermined space.
MATERIALS OPTIMIZATION
With smarter process and technology, we can achieve an overall materials yield of 78% versus the industry average of just 50% to 60%.
RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Our R&D team has helped get our plywood and OSB panel yield to an astounding 98+% by using special software to optimize digital “nests” before CNC routing.
EFFICIENT ASSEMBLY
We have special software and design engineers to produce components that assemble more easily and quickly, and identify potential quality improvements.
