MasterBrand Cabinets shuttered its Auburn, Alabama, manufacturing plant on June 12. The cabinet giant attributed the closure to market conditions and consumer taste changes.
MasterBrand Cabinets' $3.5 million purchase of a 137,095-square-foot facility in Lexington, NC, is part of the cabinet giant's plan to consolidate three operations in the area. New jobs will be created at the plant, which will begin production of cabinet doors and drawers in October. By spring, employees and operations from three nearby facilities also will be moved over to the plant.
