International Moulding began with a small frame shop outside Birmingham, AL in 1988. Richard Thompson began the business after 20 years experience in mergers, acquisitions, and start-ups with Sears company. That experience led Richard to a start-up of his own, the Frame Factory, and soon he and his sons grew the store to multiple locations. With that success came a vision to build a supply chain offering great value and service to frame shops for fair, non-inflated prices. Taking that concept, and some hard work, International Moulding was born.
Over the years Richard has acquired a number of picture frame supply distributors across the United States. Many of these businesses are several decades old and bring with them a wealth of expertise to International Moulding. Because of long-standing tradition, you will often hear our staff refer to them by their former names: Valley Moulding and Frame, TC Moulding, Frame King Moulding, Culver Art and Frame, Lewinter Moulding, G&G Moulding, Quadrant Moulding, and Mayne Framing Supply. With these acquisitions, we have built a strong national network of suppliers and retained some of the most experienced people in the picture framing industry. These companies and their history are a huge part of our company identity.
Today we are still family-owned-and-operated with 17 locations around the USA, a team of over 300 employees, and a management group of the most experienced leaders in the industry. We work hard to maintain a personal relationship with our customers. Though we are a nationwide company our focus has always been - and always will be - local.
