Cabinetworks Group announced, in collaboration with the State of Pennsylvania, a plan to expand its Mount Union facility in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania and retain 1,694 quality manufacturing jobs, which includes an additional 300 new jobs.
Cabinetworks is investing $23 million to transform its 206,000 square feet Mount Union facility from a component plant into an advanced manufacturing and assembly operation that can build and ship fully assembled cabinets. Cabinetworks will revamp the facility layout and implement a highly efficient, high-speed cabinet production model with state-of-the-art equipment to meet a production goal of 5,000 or more cabinets per day by the end of 2025.
As part of this transformation, Cabinetworks has pledged to create over 300 new jobs over the next three years at this facility. Cabinetworks received a Pennsylvania First grant and a workforce development grant from the state to reskill and train new workers to excel in manufacturing, production of cabinets, and supporting roles.
Cabinetworks Group is the largest independently owned manufacturer and distributor of kitchen and bath cabinetry in the United States, producing both framed and frameless cabinetry in 19 facilities for dealers, home centers, distributors, and multi-family home builders.
