Located in Ferdinand, Indiana, Mobel, Inc. has been
crafting quality bedroom furniture for over 30 years...but
our roots run far deeper. Woodworking enjoys a long and
honored history in the area, with many families boasting
three and four generations of craftsmen Ferdinand's tradition
of fine woodworking made it the ideal location for a
locally owned and operated company with strong ties to
the community and an equally strong sense of self-determination.
In 1971, an investors' group was formed, and Mobel began
with hope, experience and determination as its principal
assets. Initial market samples were crafted in Quonset
huts in the rail yards while new structures, covering
some 38,000 square feet, were erected to house the fledgling
company. Today, Mobel occupies more than 200,000 square
feet of warehouse, manufacturing, finishing and shipping
space, employing some 150 people.
Fine wood furniture begins with exactly that...fine wood.
At Mobel, we take great care to ensure that only the
finest hardwoods are selected, carefully kiln-dried,
and properly stored prior to fabrication. Nature's own
woods have proven to be the best material from which
to make furniture. The natural beauty of the grain pattern
assures that no two pieces of wood are identical. Wood
is warm to the touch, strong, resilient, and becomes
more beautiful with age. Each piece of hardwood is hand-selected
to enhance the appearance of the final product. Our craftsmen,
with an average of 12 years experience and training in
our processes, personally match all components to ensure
that every finished product meets Mobel's exacting standards.
Mobel uses only solid wood components to ensure the
durability of every piece we produce. Tops, drawer fronts
and ends are panels formed from random widths of hardwood,
carefully glued to create strong, lasting beauty. Examine
Mobel's case furniture carefully. Note the hardwood center
and side drawer glides and drawer bottoms. Wood gluing
blocks, wooden dust-proofing panels, full hardwood framed
case interiors, and recessed wooden backs indicate a
carefully crafted piece of the highest quality.
Mobel's cases provide full internal framing, with front,
back and side rails under each drawer. This provides
increased structural stability and longevity. The recessed
wood backs not only provide additional protection for
internal components and contents, but add durability
as well. Each back panel is glued and nailed to ensure
a solid and rigid case.
