Fortune Brands to produce Thomasville cabinetry

By Furniture Today Staff -- Furniture Today, March 3, 2002

LINCOLNSHIRE , Ill. — LINCOLNSHIRE , Ill. — MasterBrand Cabinets has taken over production of household cabinetry under the Thomasville brand for Home Depot's 1,200 stores.

Previously, Masco Corp.'s Mill's Pride division made the Thomasville product. Now, Mill's Pride will concentrate on an expanded offering of its Premier line of kitchen and bathroom cabinetry for Home Depot.

In addition, Masco's KraftMaid special-order cabinet brand will expand across all Home Depot regions. Previously, Home Depot did not carry KraftMaid in its New England stores.

Thomasville brand cabinets from MasterBrand, a division of consumer products company Fortune Brands, will start phasing into Home Depot stores in the second quarter. The nationwide rollout should be complete in the first quarter of 2003.

"The fact that we'll double the number of Home Depot stores featuring our cabinets in the coming year makes this an excellent growth opportunity," said Bruce Carbonari, president of Fortune Brands' home and hardware business.
