Made to Measure since 1984. M.G. Cabinets & Millwork Ltd. celebrates 40 years!
M.G. Cabinets & Millwork Ltd. was started in 1984 by Marc Goulet. Marc has been making furniture and other wood products from an early age and always had a knack for creating beautiful pieces for his customers.
He decided in his early 20s that he would become a woodworker and enrolled at Red River College in their Carpentry course. During this course, a section was dedicated to cabinetmaking, which cemented his desire to create beautiful custom cabinetry and make it his career. Even before finishing his apprenticeship, Marc had already started making high-quality kitchen cabinets for his customers. Marc was living in Winnipeg at the time with his wife Lynne, making cabinets in the basement of their rental unit, and decided they needed more space. They both wanted to move back to their hometown of St. Malo and lay down some roots to start a family and launch their business.
Exceptional quality and service from this home-grown custom cabinetry and millwork business.
There were no cabinet shops in the area, so they wanted to fill a need in the surrounding community. They purchased some land, built their house and shop in the backyard, and started M.G. Cabinets and Carpentry (the original name) in 1984. A couple of years later, in March of 1986, Marc graduated from his Carpentry apprenticeship, became a Journeyman in his craft, and continued making cabinetry in his backyard shop. Later that same year, their son Darrell was born.
Marc continued making kitchen cabinetry in the backyard shop for most of the 1990s and finally decided to expand at the turn of the millennium. They purchased a large commercial lot on Highway 59 at the edge of St. Malo and built our showroom and manufacturing plant, which is still located there.
Since then, the plant has gone through two expansions to accommodate new machinery and warehousing space for the many kitchens they work on throughout the year. Finally, after almost 40 years in business, Marc has reached the age where retirement is creeping closer to reality, and it is time to pass the torch. His son Darrell has been working at M.G. Cabinets & Millwork Ltd. since 2007. He went through the cabinetmaking apprenticeship course at Red River College and became a Journeyman in 2010, all in preparation to take over the business.
Early in 2022, the business changed hands and is now owned by Darrell, who has continued to uphold Marc’s quality standards and customer satisfaction for the past 40 years. Marc and Darrell still work together to this day and strive to help their customers get the kitchen they’ve always dreamed of.
