USA – ACProducts, Inc. (acpi®) completed on February 18 the acquisition of Masco Cabinetry.
The two companies have come together to form Cabinetworks Group, a new national leader in kitchen and bath cabinetry. The deal announced on November 15 of last year was for USD 850 million in cash at closing and preferred stock issued by a holding company of the buyer with a liquidation preference of USD 150 million.
The creation of Cabinetworks Group results in a bigger, stronger organization that is now the second largest and one of the fastest growing cabinet companies in the U.S. With a diverse and balanced portfolio of cabinetry brands in the industry, spanning the full spectrum of framed and frameless products the new formed Cabinetworks can reach every consumer and every price point.
