Wilsonart by CabinetParts.com

One of the world’s leading producers of decorative surfacing products is Wilsonart International. As a top seller of Wilsonart products, CabinetParts.com would like to tell you a little bit about the wonderful people at Wilsonart.

Wilsonart International was founded as a producer of high pressure decorative laminates in 1956.  The company was founded by a retired laminate industry executive by the name of Ralph Wilson, Sr. in Temple, Texas.  Wilson’s intent was never to build a major competitor, it was to fill his free time doing something he loved and as a hobby.

Throughout the 1960s, Wilson’s “hobby” grew dramatically utilizing a formula dedicated to local work force, high-quality products and an old-fashioned commitment to customer service.

Known as Ralph Wilson Plastics Company in the beginning, Wilsonart was founded on the promise to deliver “laminate anywhere in the United States in 10 days or less.” To fulfill their promise, the company purchased and still maintains its own fleet of delivery trucks in North America today.

Their warehouse system, comprising of 15 facilities in North America, was established to respond to diverse market conditions and maintain a vast inventory of laminates close to every customer.

The 70’s brought the real drive to establish what has become the world’s finest network of independent wholesale distributors of building materials.

These distributors (including CabinetParts.com) number to more than 200 across the globe.  The great folks at Wilsonart attribute their success as the personification of marketing with the same ideals and service philosophy on which Wilsonart was founded.

As the 80’s were fast approaching Wilsonart had become one of the nation’s leading brands of decorative laminates in the US.   They built a new manufacturing plant in North Carolina that is over 500,000 square feet in size.

The 80’s markedly was the beginning of product diversification for Wilsonart International.  The company’s line of readily available solid colors and patterns was instituted and has become, in large part, an industry standard for design direction.  By the 1990s, Wilsonart International’s product diversification sped up to meet new market opportunities.

International expansion also became an important new focus in the 1990’s.  By the year 2000, Wilsonart had established a global network through major off-shore investments in acquisitions and Greenfield operations.  Wilsonart expanded to Europe, Australia, Asia, South and Central America and also acquiring big name competitors like the Arborite Company (which we now sell at CabinetParts.com).

Wilsonart states that “In this global economy, and as our major customers expand internationally, we are becoming increasingly successful in developing international business with our customers.”

Wilsonart’s mission is “To Serve our People, To Serve our Company and To Serve our Customers.”

CabinetParts.com: Our History

We've told you why over and over again why you should choose Cabinetparts.com. Yea, we have great customer service, awesome prices, and the best products. But where did all of this come from?  What are the roots of CabinetParts.com?

Well today you are gonna learn a little bit more about our foundation!

What started in 1997 by answering the question of "Honey when are you going to fix the %&#$% cabinet door hinge?" has evolved into one of the largest on-line Cabinet Hardware distributors in the world!  With over 20,000 products and customers in 28 countries, we have established ourselves as one of, if not the best in what we do!

We owe this growth to a great team that works hard at constantly improving on our original commitment to provide top quality innovative products, sound technical support, and the best possible service to our customers.

We have some of the most eclectic group of cabinet hardware experts that are employed here at Cabinetparts.com.  One of the most eclectic of us all is the engine that drives the train which is our Founder and President Pat Abbe.  Described as the  Renaissance Man (or Cave Man) depending on who you talk to, Pat spent most of his life working in the leather and furniture making trades while living in Mystic, Connecticut.

He graduated from Worcester Polytechnic Institute with an engineering degree and put it to good use (oozing sarcasm) when he moved to Florida in the early 80's to be a carpenter (hippie).

He established himself as a successful business owner specializing in custom high-end woodworking during the "excessive 80's".   While surfing Al Gore's Internet in the early 90's a fluorescent (energy efficient) light bulb lit up and Pat turned his attention to computers and the world-wide-web.

This led to birth of CabinetParts.com.  Over the years we have struggled and made it through the tough times which led to a steady growth over the past 14 years.

Even with our great growth Cabinetparts.com has maintained its small company atmosphere and sense of fun for all who work here.  Now over 13 years and 4 moves later we are just as excited about our future today as we were back in 97.

It is our mission here at cabinetparts.com to continue to provide you with the best products and customer service our company was founded on!

We implore you to log on to learn more about us and check out our magnificent inventory!

The Tandembox Wizard!

One of our more innovative Drawer Slides Systems is the Tandembox Drawer Slides by Blum.   Described as beauty and strength in one design by Blum the Tandembox system satisfies the demand for design & function.   At CabinetParts.com we sell a variety of these innovative products.


Integrated with the BLUMOTION technology, these drawers close silently and effortlessly and that’s why we like them.

So what’s the big deal about BLUMOTION?  Here is what Blum has to say about it:

Silent and effortless closing:
BLUMOTION redefines the term “quality of motion”. The system is quick and easy to install and once installed, creates a quiet and effortless closing motion that adjusts itself automatically to each door size, weight and closing speed.

Slow closing speed:
The braking system expands slightly generating only modest resistance to the flow. The BLUMOTION effect is controlled via the flow speed and in this case, remains low.

Fast closing speed:
The braking system expands which constricts the flow channel to create greater resistance. This results in a strong BLUMOTION effect.

Closing speed that is too fast:
The overload safety feature kicks in. The excessive force is diverted using an additional flow channel and both BLUMOTION and the hinge, drawer runner, or lift system are protected from damage.

That is some awesome technology!  Apart from the features and benefits listed above CabinetParts.com offers a Tandembox Wizard!

The Tandembox Wizard is basically a Drawer Slide Set Creator based on your specifications.  This wizard will walk you through the steps to build your Tandembox solution. At the end wizard tool will allow you to go back and create your next custom drawer.

No worries!  With our Tandembox wizard you only have to make the drawer bottoms & the back. The wizard will supply you with all the hardware to build your Tandembox drawer system.

Blum, Inc. is ISO 9001certified which means that Blum assures consistent quality in every Blum product. As with all Blum hardware, Tandembox drawers are backed with a lifetime guarantee!  You can’t beat that!

Also, they exceed the requirements of ANSI-BHMA standards for cycle life, static load and self-closing performance.

Partnering with Blum, CabinetParts.com strives to provide you with optimal customer service and top quality Cabinet Hardware.
