Delta, BC - Producing hundreds of thousands of closet components every year for companies such as Closetmaid® and California Closets®, Craftsman Panel Cutters continues to sit amongst some of the largest component manufacturers in North America.

Commonly produced closet components include melamine partitions, shelves, drawers, base cabinets and garage organizer parts. Customers choose from a complete range of the most popular melamine colors while Craftsman manufactures quality components through CNC drilling, high speed drilling, CNC cutting, and edging.

After thirteen years of manufacturing, Craftsman now ships 300,000-400,000 components each year to companies in BC, Alberta and down the U.S. coast. They are also making inroads to Arizona, Nevada and Utah.

Providing quality closet components at the best possible value is a core principle for Craftsman. Direct mill purchasing of raw materials ensures cost-competitive product while the precision and quality is continually monitored and backed by Woodmark Quality Certification. In addition, their in-house engineering department often provides customers with improved designs and solutions to ensure they are getting the best possible product for their needs. Add to that, Craftsman’s unique flexibility in manufacturing custom specifications for small and large volumes and it’s no wonder that customers continue to choose Craftsman.

Somerville Plywood, a distributor to California Closets, chose Craftsman because “they came highly recommended”, according to Bob Boyle, Purchasing Manager for the Californian company, “and after a tour of their facility we could see that they had state-of-the-art machinery and were an excellent group of people.” Somerville has been working with Craftsman for five years and Richard Wilson, President of Craftsman, is pleased to have long-term partners like Somerville, which work with Craftsman because of their commitment to quality and not their geographic proximity.
