KCMA Members -- the Industry's Leaders.

KCMA membership includes small and large manufacturers, fabricators of decorative laminate products, and suppliers, representing the entire scope of the North American cabinet industry.

The Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association includes more than 355 members, including cabinet manufacturers, countertop and other decorative laminate product fabricators, and suppliers to the industry. "Active" membership is limited to manufacturers of cabinets and fabricators of decorative laminate products. Suppliers to the industry are welcome to join the association as "Associate" members.

KCMA manufacturing members account for approximately 66 percent of all cabinets sold in the United States, and the roster includes all major U.S. cabinet manufacturing companies. However, more than 58 percent of members report annual sales under $5 million, and the association offers important benefits to the smaller manufacturer as well as the "big players."

Decorative Laminates Council -- A Key Member Group

In 1996, the former Decorative Laminate Products Association (DLPA), terminated that association and joined KCMA as the Decorative Laminates Council (DLC).

With a core group of 20 member companies, the DLC has become an important addition. Since joining KCMA, the performance standard for kitchen countertops (ANSI A161.2) has been updated and regained recognition as an American National Standards institute (ANSI) approved standard. Efforts to initiate an industry testing and certification program are near completion.

DLC members participate in all KCMA activities. Special educational programs are offered to address member needs, along with plant tours, networking opportunities, promotion efforts and related programs.

The DLC is represented on the KCMA Board of Directors. Decorative laminate fabricators and their suppliers are a welcome addition to the KCMA membership.
