A Legacy of Craftsmanship & Design
Our Beginnings
Morris Black & Sons began with a family seeking opportunity. In 1898, a Jewish family settled in Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, including eleven-year-old Morris Black, whose determination and work ethic would shape the company’s future. In 1908, Morris bought a wagon and horses and began delivering building materials to local job sites, building a reputation for reliability and integrity.
Over time, the company grew through the Great Depression, two World Wars, and decades of change, expanding its products and services while holding fast to its core values of excellence, honesty, and trust. Each generation has continued that legacy by adapting, innovating, and growing into cabinetry, design, and millwork.
Continuing The Legacy
Over the decades, Morris Black expanded into kitchen design, cabinetry, architectural millwork, and commercial casework. What started as a building supply company evolved into a full-service provider of cabinetry and design solutions for both residential and commercial spaces.
Today, Morris Black Designs carries that legacy forward, combining generations of experience with modern design and advanced manufacturing. Now led by the fourth generation of the Black family, the company continues to build on a tradition of craftsmanship, innovation, and lasting relationships with the clients it serves.
