Our Story

Formed in 1956, Dixie Craft Manufacturing began as a small, family-owned manufacturer in Alabama. Maytex Store Fixtures, a similar manufacturer in Texas, was established in 1962. The merger of Dixie Craft Manufacturing and Maytex Store Fixtures formed Madix, Inc. in 1982. With the acquisition of Spencer Products in 2003, the family-owned business has expanded its manufacturing facilities to include over 2.3 million square feet of production space.

Madix claims a rich history of technological innovation honed from extensive field research, cutting edge product development, and world-class delivery and installation solutions. Computer-automated order processing and manufacturing tracking systems control product costs and ensure quality control and speed of delivery. Madix works in partnership with retailers and national brands in a range of industries to design and facilitate the use of fixtures and racks for retail stores. National Installers, an affiliated company, provides installation services.

Green Manufacturing

For Our Environment:
Madix recycles 100% of the waste accrued from our steel manufacturing operations, selling the offal to steel mini-mills/smelters and reclaiming the scrap-metal cost.

Wood-manufacturing waste is also recycled back to co-generation plant facilities.

Any recyclable liquid waste is blended into fuel for electricity generation. (All hydraulic and 85-140 differential oils are sold to an end user as usable/recyclable products.)

All cardboard waste is being recycled at various corrugated recycling plants across the country.

The non-hazardous water contaminants from our paint line's degreasing wash systems are sent to our waste-water pretreatment facility (located on premises). After all contaminants are removed, the water is forwarded to a publicly owned treatment plant, and the filtered (non-hazardous) waste is pushed through a filter press, and the residue is sent to a landfill.

We have also implemented a cold-water rinse cycle into our paint line system, which is a more energy-efficient method than the traditional hot-water rinse. Furthermore, by converting liquid paint lines to powder-coating systems, we have greatly reduced the amount of volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions into the atmosphere.

Our manufacturing facilities incorporate skylights and opaque, natural-light wall panels to reduce the demand for fluorescent lighting during daytime operation.

There is a strict "No Idle" policy in place that prevents company (and vendor-owned) vehicles from idling for more than three minutes while on Madix premises. We enforce this policy to both conserve energy and moderate air pollution.

As a Just-In-Time (JIT) manufacturer, Madix reduces packaging waste by packaging products more efficiently.
