What Christiana Cabinetry does

Christiana Cabinetry is a family-owned custom luxury cabinetry manufacturer founded in 1976 and headquartered in Atglen, Pennsylvania. The company designs, fabricates, and installs fully customized cabinetry through two product lines: the Classic Collection, offering traditional American face-frame or frameless construction with 200+ door styles and 1/16" tolerance fit, and the Appenzell Collection, a European-style frameless line with 19mm melamine casework, Blum Movento soft-close hardware, and 1mm metric precision fit. Both lines use the proprietary Santé Finish System, a computerized proportioning process for ultra-low-VOC formaldehyde-free finishes, and 90%+ of materials are sourced from sustainable US-based suppliers.

The company operates an exclusively partner-centric go-to-market model, working only through top interior designers, architects, and kitchen showrooms rather than selling directly to consumers. Its distribution network is anchored by four Legacy Partners with 20+ year exclusive relationships (CFS in Lancaster PA, DeGiulio Kitchen Studio in Birmingham MI, DG Kitchen & Bath in Winnetka IL, Lindsay Kitchens in Chadds Ford PA), supplemented by approximately 10 non-exclusive showrooms across CA, NV, MD, CO, FL, and Bermuda, plus a tiered network of architectural, kitchen design, and interior design firms nationwide. A dedicated Florida Division extends operational reach into the Southeast US.

Revenue is generated through one-time, quote-based custom project sales priced by specifications, materials, and finishes, plus collaborative design consultation services delivered in partnership with designers and architects. The company maintains a co-marketing partnership with premium appliance manufacturer Gaggenau to offer integrated kitchen packages. The team comprises approximately 45 members across production, project management, drafting, color studio, and finance functions, with the Metzler family holding leadership roles including Founder & CEO (Jerry Metzler), Team Leader (Kent Metzler), and Production Manager (Karl Metzler).
