The Rare Minerals Palette – Colors extracted from nature

Elmwood has always drawn inspiration from nature. Its resources are rich, and so are its hues. Our new paint and stain palette is based on just that: drawing inspiration from nature in the most raw and rich way.

Introducing Rare Minerals:

A color palette inspired by raw and precious minerals, resulting in magnificent spaces that exude singularity. Like the gems that inspired them, these colors gradually reveal their complexity, offering new dimensions as daylight transitions to dusk.

‘’Our new introductions for 2025 continue our commitment to continuously evolving and providing Elmwood’s Design Partners with on-trend finishes they can easily incorporate into their projects.

The Rare Minerals Palette delivers hues with impressive depth and clarity. These rich yet livable new paint colors pair beautifully with our new stain selections and can be employed to suit a wide range of interior spaces and styles.
Color forecasting and development for our Elmwood line is one of my favorite parts of my role and I can’t wait to see how our ever-creative Design Partners will use these new selections!”

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.​
