CHARLOTTE - Richelieu will showcase 50 years of innovation with its extensive range of specialty hardware in Booth #601 at the co-located Wood Pro Expo Charlotte/Cabinets & Closets Conference & Expo. The show takes place March 6-8 at the Charlotte Convention Center in North Carolina.
Among the products on display will be the Vertiko storage system, which is a fully customizable solution that is ideal for maximizing space and organization according the company. The supporting components are attached to an existing wall and accessories are used to create a structure to optimize a walk-in closet in a bedroom, shelving in a home office, an entertainment center in a living room, or functional pantry storage in the kitchen.
Another product will be Fioro, which the company says offers both an aesthetic and functional solution to allow anyone to have outstanding design on the inside of cabinets. With Fioro, dark gray metal pull-out shelves are combined with natural oak slim side rails to give a sleek, modern look. Richelieu offers Fioro in a pull-out pantry system, the Snello pullout base cabinet system, the Extendo base cabinet pull-out storage, and the Magic corner cabinet solution.
The company’s Straightline modular wood divider system will also be on display. This system combines a series of trays, dividers, and boxes that snap into place to create custom configurations for different needs and drawer sizes. Offered in black ash, birch, and walnut, Straightline is made of real wood with a minimalist design.
Also on display will be new decorative metal hooks for scarves, belts, ties, and handbags, as well as Slide, which is installed over the top of a kitchen island to create an elevated surface that slides diagonally to extend the countertop.
The Wood Pro Expo brand comprises a series of strategic regional events, located in key areas throughout the United States where professional woodworkers congregate. Wood Pro Expo features a full day of education and tours followed by two expo days oriented to equipment and supplies focused on the small-to-medium size shops. The educational offering includes CNC basics, employee recruitment, finishing, lean manufacturing, business management, software, and shop safety.
The Cabinets & Closets Conference & Expo is an annual event featuring a full-day conference, plant tour, and exposition, and is dedicated to home remodeling professionals specializing in building kitchen cabinets, closets, and other home storage designs. Scheduled for March 6-8, 2019 at the Charlotte Convention Center, the Cabinets & Closets Conference and Expo will co-locate with Wood Pro Expo, which is held annually in Charlotte.
