Cabinetworks Group, the second-largest cabinet manufacturer in the U.S., is relocating its headquarters from Ann Arbor to Livonia and intends to hire 110 people as part of a $14.2 million expansion in Michigan.
The company, which ranks #10 in the FDMC300 list of top North American wood products companies, said that it seeks to centralize its corporate functions to better serve its customer base and attract and retain employees. Cabinetworks is currently making improvements and renovations to the facility to create a modern headquarters incorporating the latest technology to facilitate teamwork and collaboration among its more than 8,000 employees nationwide.
“I appreciate the support and warm welcome we’ve received from the Detroit Regional Partnership,” said John Barkhouse, Cabinetworks CEO. “Our entire team is excited about our future in Michigan and we’re looking forward to establishing roots in Livonia. We’re energized and ready to grow here.” John added further.
The project will assure future investment by the corporation in Michigan and immediately bring high-paying corporate and professional services employment to the area. It is therefore receiving a performance-based award of $600,000 from the Michigan Business Development Program. The Detroit Regional Partnership has also provided support for the project with marketing help and talent recruitment.
“Cabinetworks is driving $14.2 million of investment and creating 110 good jobs in Southeast Michigan, underscoring the strength of our talented workforce and building on our economic momentum,” said Governor Whitmer. “We’re pleased to support Cabinetworks’ expansion in Livonia and look forward to working with the company as it continues to grow here and add jobs for Michiganders. Together, we can continue to send a clear message that everyone is welcome to make it in Michigan.”
