KCMA Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association

The trade association for kitchen cabinet makers, known for cabinet performance standards and industry resources.

The Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association, known as KCMA, describes itself as the group that establishes and promotes standards for the kitchen cabinet industry. Its website offers resources for professionals and homeowners, along with industry news and events. Homeowners in Nashville may see its name in cabinet brochures that mention testing of finishes, joints and hardware to a shared performance standard.

We are an independent cabinet company and are not part of KCMA. We use its public information as a reference point and send you to the official site to read it yourself. When you compare cabinet lines, we are glad to explain what testing claims mean and which questions to ask a showroom or a manufacturer.
