Wellborn Cabinet Opens $28 Million Manufacturing Facility in Calhoun County
Wellborn Cabinet has officially inaugurated its new $28 million manufacturing facility in Calhoun County, marking a major expansion of its domestic production footprint. The plant significantly increases the company’s capacity for high-quality cabinetry, integrating automated material handling, advanced finishing lines, and next-generation woodworking equipment. This investment enhances Wellborn’s ability to meet the growing demand for American-made cabinetry across residential and commercial projects, while improving production efficiency and lead-time reliability.
For precision machining and fabrication suppliers, the facility’s modernization signals an increase in the purchase of CNC-cut components, custom tooling, automated conveyors, and high-precision fixtures needed to support continuous production. As furniture and millwork manufacturers adopt more robotics and automation, machine shops with specialty capabilities in jigs, mounts, and wear components will find growing opportunities.
