MILLBURY, Mass. — Hampshire Craft Cabinetry, an emerging handcrafted cabinetry company, opened a new manufacturing facility in Millbury, Massachussets, and celebrated its launch. The ceremony began with guests from the state government and local industry touring the newly launched production line.

Opening remarks by Vice President Charles Kokoros outlined the company’s strategic growth vision and introduced the event’s guests. Speeches from several government representatives and local officials underscored the significance of supporting skilled trades and small businesses in the region.

Jesse Lederman, regional director for U.S. Senator Edward J. Markey, delivered a citation and remarks on behalf of the Senator. “Although Senator Markey could not attend due to Congressional duties, he sends his sincere congratulations to Hampshire Craft Cabinetry,” Lederman stated. “This facility reflects the values of quality, innovation, and job creation that are essential to the Commonwealth’s future.”

Company founder and President Jack Wu closed the remarks segment with this message: "This facility is more than a workplace—it is a space built on craftsmanship, innovation, and opportunity,” Wu said. “We are proud to contribute to Millbury’s economy and the broader legacy of quality American manufacturing.”

The ribbon-cutting was followed by a traditional lion dance performance by Wah Lum Kung Fu & Tai Chi Academy, symbolizing good fortune and new beginnings. 

Since entering the cabinetry industry in 2014, Hampshire Craft Cabinetry has evolved from a startup project into a fully integrated manufacturing company. The business was officially registered in 2017 with the opening of its first showroom in Quincy, Massachusetts. To support growing demand, the company expanded its logistics network with warehouses in Rockland (2019) and Sharon (2020), Massachusetts. In 2023, these operations were consolidated into a centralized facility in Millbury. By 2024, Hampshire Craft had invested over $25 million in advanced manufacturing equipment and infrastructure, achieving significant upgrades in both technology and production capacity.
