We inspire creativity

As creators of custom high-end cabinetry, we’re guided by one central tenet: to inspire the world’s most visionary designers.

To fuel that inspiration, we scour the globe in search of the finest, most authentic materials the planet has to offer. We create rich finishes that surprise and delight. We seek out textures that resonate and innovations that impress. And we do it all to give substance to the latest, most exciting trends in interior design.

Materials, finishes, and innovations—the building blocks for supremely refined and memorable designs.

Our seasoned craftspeople take immense satisfaction in faithfully bringing even the most complex projects to life.

Since 1973, we have proudly preserved the tradition of custom cabinetmaking in its purest form. Human craftsmanship, backed by the latest technology, is always front and center in everything we do. For us, every project is a unique masterwork in the making.

That’s why we never tire of that magic moment when a designer’s creative vision takes shape in the capable hands of our master artisans. Seeing our impeccable quality elevate the designer’s art is a deeply gratifying experience.

Unjustified tariffs threaten Canadian cabinet manufacturing and our shared future.​

Tomorrow, the U.S. Administration will implement a 25% tariff on Canadian cabinet imports, set to double in January. This decision is unjustified and unfair.​

Canada is not a low-cost market dumping cabinets at artificially low prices. For over 40 years, Canadian manufacturers like Cabico&co have been fair, reliable partners to U.S. dealers, bringing craftsmanship and integrity to every collaboration. ​

Tariffs on truly canadian cabinets miss the mark.​
They don’t protect this industry — they disrupt it. By undermining long-standing cooperation, tariffs threaten the efficiency, expertise, and shared standards that define North American cabinetry.
The North American cabinet industry is built on collaboration and shared expertise.​

Across the U.S. and Canada, suppliers, manufacturers, and dealers work together to uphold the same standards of quality, precision, and craftsmanship. These long-standing partnerships have strengthened local businesses and sustained a reputation recognized across North America.​

The 25% tariff on Canadian cabinet imports, taking effect on October 14 and set to double in January, is unjustified. Canada is not a low-cost country dumping cabinets at artificially low prices.​

The North American cabinet industry operates as one interconnected network of partners.

From U.S. suppliers and dealers to Canadian manufacturers, our industry is built on cross-border collaboration that has evolved over decades. These partnerships sustain thousands of small and family-owned businesses, shaping a reputation for quality, innovation, and craftsmanship recognized across the continent.

Unjustified tariffs threaten Canadian cabinet manufacturing and our shared future​.

On Monday, September 29, the U.S. Administration announced a 25% tariff on Canadian cabinet imports, set to double to 50% in January. This decision is unjustified and unfair. ​

Canada is not a low-cost country dumping cabinets at artificially low prices. For over 40 years, Canadian manufacturers like Cabico&co have been respectful, fair-market competitors, bringing value and craftsmanship to U.S. partners. Even the American cabinet industry itself — through a letter from
AKCA to President Trump on September 19 — focused on low-cost imports from China, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Mexico. Canada wasn’t even mentioned.​

​So why target Canada? Many in the U.S. industry are asking the same question. These tariffs don’t protect American jobs. Instead, they punish long-standing North American partners who have always played fair. They contradict the spirit of the USMCA trade agreement, and they hurt thousands of hardworking families on both sides of the border.​

At Cabico&co, our commitment remains unshaken:​ We are committed to delivering quality with a Human Touch, standing by our U.S. dealer partners in both good times and hard times, and building bridges rather than barriers. ​

Now more than ever, we believe in our shared values, the resilience of our industry, and the strength of our partnerships.​
