GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. - Osburn Cabinets & Design's new owner is an employee who started at the custom cabinetmaking business as a delivery driver.

 

Chad Brandon started working at Osburn 22 years ago as a driver, before becoming plant manager, production manager, operations manager, and finally, general manager. He has now purchased the company from owner Marty Kolonel.

 

“He created and fostered customer and supplier relations, lowered costs, assembled Osburn’s team of employees and subcontractors and ensured the long-term stability of both,” Kolonel told The Business Times. “Sales and profitability grew significantly during his management tenure. And when it came time to pass the torch, I knew the company would be in good hands.”

 

Brandon also praised Kolonel's leadership. See the full story here: https://thebusinesstimes.com/cabinet-position-long-time-employees-takes…;

 

Osburn has manufactured cabinets for residential clients since 1974. In 2002, it expanded to include commercial cabinetry and architectural millwork.
