Owensboro-based Cabinotch, a leading provider of innovative woodworking solutions, announces its acquisition of KCD Software, an award-winning custom design software for cabinets and closets. Company leaders said the strategic move marks a significant step forward for Cabintoch Innovative Solutions’ commitment to better serving the needs of woodworkers and cabinetmakers worldwide.
Cabinotch caters to small- to medium-sized shops with its ready-to-assemble cabinet box systems. Featuring a patented interlocking joint design, Cabinotch reduces assembly time and labor costs, allowing cabinet shops to focus more on customization and finishing.
Cabinotch CEO Phillip Crabtree II said the acquisition aligns with the company’s mission to empower woodworkers with cutting-edge technology and enhance production efficiency. By integrating KCD Software’s robust suite of solutions into its portfolio, Cabinotch aims to provide a streamlined beginning-to-end workflow for designing, rendering, and manufacturing custom cabinetry, closets, and case goods.
“We are thrilled to welcome KCD Software into the Cabinotch family,” Crabtree said. “This acquisition represents a significant step forward in our mission to revolutionize the woodworking industry through innovative software. By combining Cabinotch’s patented manufacturing solutions with KCD Software’s design expertise, we will empower woodworkers with the tools they need to thrive in today’s competitive market.”
KCD Software brings decades of expertise in delivering comprehensive software solutions custom-tailored to the specific requirements of cabinet and closet professionals. Their suite of intuitive design tools enables users to render 3D designs, produce accurate cut lists, and optimize workflows.
As part of the acquisition, Cabinotch plans to enhance and expand KCD Software’s offerings. Existing users of KCD Software can expect continued support and access to new features and enhancements as Cabinotch invests in further development and innovation.
“The true power of this marriage is that both companies were developed by cabinetmakers for cabinetmakers,” said John Murphy, KCD Software’s founder and creator. “The days of outsourcing are here, and the simplicity and power of KCD Software and Cabinotch enables woodworkers to embrace the role of a savvy businessperson.”
Tim Murphy, KCD Software president, said it was “paramount” to find a partner who not only shared the company’s vision but also honored and upheld its core values.
“In Cabinotch, we’ve found not just a buyer, but a collaborator who is committed to nurturing our legacy, taking care of our customers, and supporting our employees,” Murphy said. “This partnership ensures the continuity of our values and the preservation of our legacy as we move forward together.”
According to a release, John Murphy, Tim and Tara Murphy, and the entire team of KCD Software employees will all continue with their active roles, “ensuring customers a seamless transition into the next phase of KCD Software’s future.”
