The company's KraftMaid brand also holds Indoor airPLUS certification from the US EPA.

ACProducts Inc. was founded in 2012 and based in The Colony, Texas. It was acquired by American Industrial Partners in October 2012 and grew from a single brand and plant to 14 brands and 11 manufacturing operations. In November 2019, Masco Corporation announced it would sell its cabinetry division, including KraftMaid, Merillat, QualityCabinets, and Cardell, to acpi for $1 billion. The transaction closed in February 2020, and the combined entity was named Cabinetworks Group.

In April 2021, Platinum Equity acquired a stake in Cabinetworks Group, joining American Industrial Partners and GIC as investors. The company's total funding has reached approximately $1.66 billion across multiple financing rounds.

In June 2024, Cabinetworks Group appointed Jeff Jackson as CEO, succeeding John Barkhouse, who transitioned into an advisory role. Jackson brought over 25 years of experience leading company transformations, including 19 years in the building products industry. He most recently served as president and CEO of PGT Innovations, a manufacturer of premium windows and doors.

In December 2023, Cabinetworks Group became the first cabinet manufacturer to earn certification under the Safe and Sustainable Cabinetry (SASC) program developed by ICC Evaluation Service. The certification requires ISO/IEC 17065-accredited third-party evaluation of cabinets to the ANSI A161.1 performance standard and independent verification of compliance with US EPA TSCA Title VI.

In December 2024, Larry France began serving as interim CFO, and was permanently appointed to the role effective September 1, 2025. In October 2025, Erik Wille was named chief technology officer after serving in an interim capacity.

In May 2026, Cabinetworks Group completed a debt restructuring that secured approximately $100 million in additional liquidity and extended debt maturities.

CFO Larry France stated that the transactions provided flexibility to focus on core businesses and long-term growth strategy. The restructuring was supported by approximately 98% of lenders and 96% of noteholders.

In December 2023, Cabinetworks Group became the first cabinet manufacturer to earn certification under the Safe and Sustainable Cabinetry (SASC) program developed by ICC Evaluation Service (ICC-ES). The SASC program is the first in the industry that requires ISO/IEC 17065-accredited third-party evaluation of cabinets to the ANSI A161.1 performance and construction standard, as well as independent verification of compliance with US EPA TSCA Title VI formaldehyde emission standards.

To achieve SASC certification, Cabinetworks Group's manufacturing facilities implemented a Greenhouse Gas emissions measurement program, a program for tracking water consumption and total waste weight, and a program to recycle or repurpose a minimum of 51% of waste produced. The company's KraftMaid brand has also earned Indoor airPLUS certification from the US Environmental Protection Agency, indicating reduced exposure to airborne pollutants in homes furnished with KraftMaid cabinets.

Cabinetworks Group has not obtained B Corp certification. Its sustainability commitments are focused on environmental stewardship in cabinet manufacturing, including sustainable materials sourcing and waste reduction programs.

Cabinetworks Group has not faced significant public controversy or regulatory action. As a privately held manufacturer of residential cabinetry, the company operates outside the regulatory scrutiny applied to publicly traded companies.

The company's May 2026 debt restructuring, while not a controversy, drew attention from industry observers as an indication of financial pressure from the housing market downturn. The restructuring involved exchanging $498.5 million in senior notes due 2029 for secured notes due 2032, extending maturities but also increasing the security claims of creditors. Approximately $316 million (63.4%) of the notes were owned by the company or its affiliates prior to the exchange.

The company's manufacturing operations are subject to US EPA TSCA Title VI formaldehyde emission standards for composite wood products, with compliance verified through the SASC certification program.
