Our Story
In 1977, recognizing a need for high-end fixtures, Hub and Morgan Nelson began Bishop in their three-car garage in St. Paul, Minnesota. The brothers got their start hand crafting fixtures for local Dayton’s and Target stores, but as these and other relationships blossomed, Bishop began to make a name for itself in the premier fixture arena. Since then quality, service and referrals have been the lifeblood of Bishop Fixture + Millwork, Inc.
“We have never employed a sales team, but rather invested heavily in our domestic capabilities and trusted in our product to speak for itself. We are proud of this fact, and it’s our priority to continue differentiating Bishop through superior product quality, service and value.” - Hub & Morgan Nelson, Co-Founders
Today Bishop resides in Balsam Lake, Wisconsin, near the Minnesota border, and employs up to 400 skilled craftsmen. Bishop has been awarded Target’s Fixture Vendor of the year four times and become an A.R.E. Top 100 Fixture and Design company. As the company continues to develop, so does its passion and expertise for manufacturing beautiful fixtures.
What makes Bishop different than other suppliers?
Bishop has all the capabilities and resources of other international fixture manufacturers, but because Bishop serves only a handful of partners, each client benefits from an attention to quality and value unobtainable from other suppliers. Furthermore, Bishop holds itself accountable to its clients in every aspect of the relationship. Bishop’s purpose is to help procurement divisions achieve their short & long-term goals, maximize return on investment, and ultimately succeed in the marketplace. Therefore we manage every project to optimize value and impact before considering price. This small commitment presents itself in a superior finished product, and it’s what makes Bishop an industry leader in fixture quality and value.
