TAYLOR, Mich., March 16 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Masco Cabinetry organization, home of three nationally recognized cabinetry brands -- KraftMaid®, Merillat® and QualityCabinets® – several private label product lines and the DeNova™ countertop brand announced today that it will move its corporate headquarters to 4600 Arrowhead Drive, Ann Arbor Township, Michigan.
"The Ann Arbor area offers our new organization the benefits of a major metropolitan area in a non-urban setting," said Karen Strauss, president of Masco Cabinetry.

Masco Corporation (MAS), the leader in the North American cabinet business, announced in February 2010 that it was combining its two cabinet companies, Masco Retail Cabinet Group (KraftMaid) and Masco Builder Cabinet Group (Merillat, QualityCabinets and DeNova), to form Masco Cabinetry. Current headquarters locations are in Middlefield, OH and Adrian, MI respectively.
"Masco has been a terrific corporate citizen and strong partner in our economic diversification efforts," said Governor Jennifer M. Granholm. "The decision to consolidate and grow new jobs here is a testament to our competitive business climate and outstanding workforce."
Incentives approved today by the Michigan Economic Growth Authority will support this consolidation. The entire incentive package granted Masco Cabinetry for job creation and retention approximates $11 million over a ten year period.
Initially, 350 employees will work at the Masco Cabinetry headquarters building and that number is expected to grow to 450 employees in the next few years. No date has been announced for the move to the new site. At this time, the Masco Cabinetry leadership team will continue to work through strategic and tactical plans to ensure a seamless transition to the new organization.
