Masco Cabinetry announces Ohio plant closing

Masco Cabinetry announced Tuesday that it is phasing out its value product group business and closing its Waverly, Ohio, manufacturing plant, according to a press release.

The company is a division of Masco Corporation of Taylor, Mich., which also operates the Masco Retail Cabinet Group plant in Athens Township.

According to the release:

"This closure is driven by our desire to focus on our core brands - KraftMaid, Merillat and QualityCabinets," said Karen Strauss, Masco Cabinetry president. "It is not the result of failed efforts or the quality of the workforce dedicated to these product lines."

The Waverly plant currently has 1,216 full-time salaried and hourly employees. It is a specialized factory dedicated to the manufacture of ready-to-assemble (RTA) and in-aisle cabinetry product programs for home centers under the product line names Woodgate Select™ and Cross Creek™ vanities, Woodgate™, Home Options™ closets, Distinctions™ RTA, Ridge Hill™ and KraftLine™.

MASCO spokesperson Susan Cross said Tuesday's announcement affected only the Waverly, Ohio, facility.
