Manufacturing

The Best Choice For Manufacturing Your Retail Store Fixtures

3C combines high-volume production with expert craftsmanship.  Headquartered in North Carolina, our 400,000-square-foot manufacturing facility is equipped to handle multi-unit rollouts with unmatched efficiency.

Operations & Lean Manufacturing

Two core standards drive our facility floor:

  • ISO 9001:2015 Certification: Regulating every step of the process, from initial engineering to final delivery.
  • Lean Manufacturing: Minimizing waste and optimizing workflow to control costs and maximize value.

Automation Meets Craftsmanship

You shouldn’t have to choose between mass-production speed and bespoke quality. We offer both under one roof.

  • State-Of-The-Art Equipment: High-tech CNC equipment – including precision saws, lasers, edge banders, and routers – ensures exact, repeatable consistency for multi-unit rollouts.
  • Artisan Millwork: Dedicated workspaces allow our master carpenters to build complex, specialized components by hand.

An Invested Team of Experts

  • Decades of Experience: Many of our builders have been with 3C for decades, bringing serious institutional knowledge to your project.
  • True Accountability: We operate on a profit-sharing model. Every team member has personal ownership in their work, which translates directly to the quality on the factory floor.

Global Supply Chain & Manufacturing

Strategic supply chain management helps us bypass typical delays and deliver fast.

  • Reliable Networks: We’ve spent years building stable, highly responsive material supply chains.
  • Bulk Purchasing Power: Because we are financially sound, we can buy raw goods in large volumes in advance. This secures your inventory and protects your project from sudden price spikes.
  • Speed to Market: We create creative inventory solutions. You can get a “just-in-time” build without paying “just-in-time” prices.

Sustainable Manufacturing

We manufacture responsibly.  Watch Video

  • The 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle): Aggressive waste-reduction across the board, from repurposing wood chips to baling scrap cardboard.
  • IKEA IWAY Accredited: Recognized for adhering to rigorous environmental, social, and working condition standards.
  • FSC® Certified: Sourcing wood from responsibly managed forests.
  • EPP Downstream Facility: Certified as an Environmentally Preferable Product manufacturer.

Lean Manufacturing

3C Store Fixtures utilizes a Lean Manufacturing system, which at its core, is the method of minimizing waste while optimizing customer value. Waste is defined as anything that does not add value to the product.

There are 5 core principles of Lean Manufacturing:

Identify value

Customer defines value with a specific request for product or service.

Map the value stream

Careful analysis of the production process, ensuring each step adds value to the customer.

Create flow

Achieve an efficient, continuous flow of production so that each phase of production fits perfectly with the next.

Establish pull

Customer initiates production.

Seek perfection

Reduce waste by getting it right the first time.
Lean Manufacturing is based on finding efficiencies by eliminating unessential steps without sacrificing productivity. The Lean Process seeks to reduce overall costs, reduce time, improve quality and eliminate waste. 3C is fully committed to this system of manufacturing because of the value it brings to our clients.

3C specializes in the development of innovative retail interiors inspired by your brand identity. We are your one-stop shop for conceptual design, engineering, construction management, full-service manufacturing, logistics, consolidation, and installation. Our customers are our priority and your imagination is our only limit.
