Due to the recent acquisition of Supreme Cabinetry Brands by MasterBrand Cabinets, LLC, KCMA President Perry Fails, who is the president and COO at Supreme Cabinetry Brands. stepped down from his position on the KCMA Board today.
  
“It’s with mixed emotion that I step down from my position as President of KCMA,” said Perry Fails. “Given the recent acquisition of Supreme Cabinet Brands, though, I felt it was in KCMA’s best interest.” 

MasterBrand Cabinets was one of three major cabinet companies to resign from the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association because of a difference of opinion regarding trade matters. The companies, which also included American Woodmark and Cabinetworks Group, left the group after the KCMA board voted down their proposals to withdraw petitions regarding broadening the scope of inquiries into Chinese efforts to circumvent tariffs on wood cabinets and vanities by funneling their products through third-party countries.

Casey Bell, current KCMA Vice President and CEO - Operations at Bellmont Cabinet Company, will step into the role and fulfill the remaining Presidential term. Max Caldas, current KCMA Treasurer and CEO at Canyon Creek Cabinet Company advances to Vice President. A new Treasurer will be named soon. Jeff Gulledge from Bishop Cabinets remains the Immediate Past President.

“While it’s unfortunate that Perry had to step down as President, I’m excited for the opportunity,” said Casey Bell. “Bellmont Cabinet Company has benefited so much from KCMA membership over the years and I’m looking forward to being able to give back to the organization in this leadership role.”
