Top 10 Cabinet Manufacturers in the USA
Jose Cabrera · May 19, 2026
Quick answer: The ten largest cabinet manufacturers in the US are MasterBrand Cabinets, Cabinetworks Group, American Woodmark, Wellborn Cabinet, Fabuwood, Aristokraft, KraftMaid, Merillat, StarMark, and Diamond Cabinets. MasterBrand is the largest by revenue, reporting approximately $2.7 billion in net sales in fiscal year 2024. Most brand names in the market are owned by one of three parent companies: MasterBrand, Cabinetworks Group, or American Woodmark.
If you're a contractor, developer, or purchasing manager trying to understand who actually makes cabinets in the United States, the answer is more concentrated than most people expect. A handful of companies control a large portion of the market, and many of the brand names you recognize at retail are owned by those same few players.
This guide covers the ten manufacturers that consistently show up when you're sourcing cabinets at volume — what they make, where they operate, and what their place in the market actually means for buyers.
The 10 Largest Cabinet Manufacturers in the USA
1. MasterBrand Cabinets
MasterBrand is the largest cabinet manufacturer in North America by revenue. In fiscal year 2024, the company reported net sales of approximately $2.7 billion. That number alone tells you the scale of the operation.
What makes MasterBrand's position interesting is that most buyers never purchase directly from MasterBrand — they buy from one of its brands. The portfolio includes Aristokraft, Diamond, Decora, Schrock, StarMark, and several others. Each brand is positioned at a different price point, which lets MasterBrand cover everything from entry-level builder-grade cabinets to higher-end semi-custom lines through a single supply chain.
MasterBrand is a publicly traded company (NYSE: MBC). In August 2025, MasterBrand announced a merger with American Woodmark. Shareholder approval was obtained in October 2025, and as of early 2026 the deal is pending regulatory clearance.
2. Cabinetworks Group
Cabinetworks Group is the largest privately held cabinet manufacturer in the United States. The company operates 19 manufacturing facilities across the country and employs more than 8,000 people.
Its brand portfolio is extensive: KraftMaid, Merillat, Medallion, Schuler, Yorktowne, and more than a dozen others. Between those brands, Cabinetworks covers the full spectrum from value stock cabinets to higher-end semi-custom products.
KraftMaid has been around for over 50 years and is one of the most recognized names in the industry. Merillat, which was founded in 1946 in Adrian, Michigan, was at one point the largest cabinet manufacturer in the country before being acquired and eventually folding into what became Cabinetworks. Schuler, another Cabinetworks brand, is sold exclusively through Lowe's and is manufactured at facilities in Oregon, Minnesota, and Indiana.
3. American Woodmark Corporation
American Woodmark (NASDAQ: AMWD) reported net sales of approximately $1.7 billion in fiscal year 2025, making it the second-largest publicly traded cabinet company in the U.S. before its pending merger with MasterBrand.
The company's brands include Timberlake, Shenandoah, and Waypoint Living Spaces, covering stock and semi-custom lines sold primarily through home improvement retailers and builders. American Woodmark has a strong presence in the new home construction segment, which is a meaningful portion of total cabinet demand.
The merger with MasterBrand, if completed, would create a combined entity with revenue well over $4 billion and would further consolidate what is already a concentrated market.
4. Wellborn Cabinet
Wellborn is a family-owned manufacturer that has been operating in Ashland, Alabama since 1961. Paul and Doug Wellborn started the company in a 3,200-square-foot building; today, the facility covers approximately two million square feet and the company handles every part of production in-house, from lumber milling to finishing.
The "Made in USA" label matters to a segment of buyers, and Wellborn leans into that positioning intentionally. The company specializes in semi-custom and fully custom cabinets in maple, oak, cherry, and hickory, with a range of styles from traditional to contemporary.
For buyers who have clients or project specs that require domestic manufacturing, Wellborn is one of the cleaner answers in the market.
5. Fabuwood Cabinetry
Fabuwood was founded in 2009 in Newark, New Jersey — relatively young compared to most companies on this list. Despite that, it has grown into a significant player, operating out of a one-million-square-foot facility in Newark and reportedly generating over $400 million in annual revenue.
The business model is different from the legacy domestic manufacturers. Fabuwood sources its cabinets globally and uses its Newark hub for assembly, modification, and distribution. That approach lets the company offer competitive pricing with faster lead times than many custom or semi-custom domestic alternatives.
Fabuwood is popular with dealers, contractors, and developers who need a consistent mid-range product at volume. Its footprint is strongest in the Northeast.
6. Aristokraft (MasterBrand)
Aristokraft gets its own entry because of how frequently it comes up in builder and contractor sourcing conversations, even though it's technically a MasterBrand brand.
Founded in Indiana in 1954, Aristokraft is positioned as a value-to-mid-range option with a wide range of door styles and finishes. It covers kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, and storage solutions. The brand is commonly specified in production home building and multi-unit residential projects where price discipline matters more than customization.
If you're doing volume work and need a predictable, widely distributed product, Aristokraft shows up in a lot of those conversations.
7. KraftMaid (Cabinetworks Group)
KraftMaid has been manufacturing cabinets for more than 50 years and is one of the most specified semi-custom brands in the country. It sits above the entry-level builder-grade tier and competes in the semi-custom space where buyers want more options than stock allows but don't need full custom production.
The brand is sold through dealers, home improvement retailers, and kitchen and bath showrooms. Lead times on semi-custom orders are longer than stock, which is worth factoring in when you're working on projects with tight schedules.
8. Merillat (Cabinetworks Group)
Merillat is one of the older names in the industry, founded in 1946 in Adrian, Michigan. At one point in its history, Merillat was the single largest cabinet manufacturer in the United States. That position has changed as the industry consolidated, but the brand still carries significant name recognition, particularly in the Midwest.
Today Merillat serves the mid-range segment with stock and semi-custom options. It's sold through dealers and showrooms rather than big-box retailers, which gives it a slightly different distribution profile than some of the brands above.
9. StarMark Cabinetry (MasterBrand)
StarMark has been making cabinets in Sioux Falls, South Dakota since 1978. The company was acquired by Norcraft Companies in 2002 and eventually became part of MasterBrand.
StarMark is positioned as a semi-custom brand with a wide selection: over 120 door styles, 13 wood species, and several finish options. The range makes it popular with designers and contractors who need flexibility without going to fully custom production.
In 2025, MasterBrand relaunched StarMark's collection with what the company described as its largest product expansion to date.
10. Diamond Cabinets (MasterBrand)
Diamond is another MasterBrand brand worth knowing separately, particularly if you're working on higher-spec residential or light commercial projects.
The brand positions itself around solid wood construction and precision hardware, competing in the mid-to-upper semi-custom tier. It's been around for more than five decades and is sold through dealer networks rather than box stores, which affects how you'd access it as a buyer.

What This Market Structure Means for B2B Buyers
The cabinet industry in the U.S. is heavily consolidated. MasterBrand and Cabinetworks Group together control a significant portion of the market, and American Woodmark's merger with MasterBrand would concentrate it further. Most brand names that contractors and homeowners recognize are owned by one of these parent companies.
That concentration has practical implications.
First, supply disruptions at the manufacturer level can hit multiple brands at once. If you're specifying across several projects and using brands from the same parent company, a production issue affects all of them simultaneously.
Second, pricing across brands from the same parent tends to move together. Discounts negotiated through one channel rarely transfer across brands even when they share an owner.
Third, for buyers who prioritize domestic production, the options are narrower than the brand count suggests. Wellborn is one of the cleaner domestic-only options. Fabuwood is transparent about its global sourcing model. Many others are somewhere in between.
Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the largest cabinet manufacturer in the USA?
MasterBrand Cabinets is the largest cabinet manufacturer in North America. The company reported net sales of approximately $2.7 billion in fiscal year 2024 and operates a portfolio of brands including Aristokraft, Diamond, Decora, StarMark, and Schrock.
Are MasterBrand and American Woodmark merging?
Yes. The two companies announced an all-stock merger in August 2025. Shareholder approval was obtained in October 2025. As of early 2026, the transaction is pending regulatory clearance before it can close.
What is the difference between stock, semi-custom, and custom cabinets?
Stock cabinets are manufactured in fixed sizes and finishes and are ready to ship quickly. Semi-custom cabinets offer more size and finish options but are built to order, which means longer lead times. Custom cabinets are built entirely to specification and carry the longest lead times and highest costs. Most large U.S. manufacturers offer products across at least two of these tiers.
What cabinet brands are made entirely in the USA?
Wellborn Cabinet, headquartered in Ashland, Alabama, manufactures its entire product line domestically and has done so since 1961. Some other manufacturers produce a portion of their products domestically while sourcing others from abroad. If domestic manufacturing is a project requirement, confirm it directly with the supplier before specifying.
What should contractors look for when buying cabinets at volume?
Beyond price, the factors that matter most at scale are: lead times, consistency across production runs, finish quality, hardware durability, and how the manufacturer or distributor handles damaged or missing pieces. Certifications like CARB (California Air Resources Board compliance) also matter on certain project types, particularly in California and in multi-family projects with specific environmental requirements.
Is Fabuwood a U.S. manufacturer?
Fabuwood is a U.S.-based company headquartered in Newark, New Jersey, but its cabinets are globally sourced and assembled at its Newark facility. It's not a domestic manufacturer in the same sense as Wellborn, but it operates a significant U.S. distribution hub and is one of the faster-growing cabinet companies in the country.
What brands does Cabinetworks Group own?
Cabinetworks Group's brand portfolio includes KraftMaid, Merillat, Medallion, Schuler, Yorktowne, Advanta, Cardell, Echelon, and several others — 16 brands total as of this writing.
A Note for B2B Buyers and Importers
Most of the manufacturers on this list sell through dealer networks, retail channels, or established distributors. Accessing them at true wholesale pricing typically requires a contractor account, a dealer relationship, or minimum order volumes that individual homeowners can't meet.
For projects that require materials sourced outside existing domestic supply chains — whether because of pricing, lead times, specification requirements, or availability — working with an intermediary that has direct relationships with international manufacturers is a different path worth understanding. Wholesale import pricing for cabinet lines from manufacturing hubs in Asia, for example, operates under a completely different cost structure than domestic distribution.
That's not a fit for every project, but for larger multi-unit or commercial developments where margins and timelines are tightly managed, it's a conversation worth having.
