MARSHALL, Texas — Cabinetworks Group announced Monday it is closing its Master Woodcraft Cabinetry manufacturing facilities in Marshall and Jefferson and laying off the more than 350 employees who work there.
The company said the decision "will optimize the company’s multi-family manufacturing network, leveraging capacity at more modernized and efficient manufacturing plants within its remaining 16-facility network. It will also proactively address changing customer needs, advance operational efficiencies across the network, and address the forecasted slowdown of multi-family starts and completions."
Jeff Jackson, Cabinetworks Group CEO, said, "Multi-family builders have faced a volatile market in recent years, and as their trusted business partner, we must be agile in providing best in-class products and services. This change will position Cabinetworks to serve customers more swiftly and efficiently as we bring new products to market that reflect today’s style preferences while simultaneously rightsizing our operations.”
