$625,000 investment for Cabinet Makers in the Community of Alfred
Uncovered: Muskoka Cabinet Company
In the latest episode of TVC22's podcast, Uncovered, join host Thomas Stockting as he sits down to speak with Luke Elias, the President of the Muskoka Cabinet Company based in Alfred, ON, about their recent investment from the government of over half a million dollars.
Established in the 1970's by a local family, Luke bought the business in 1989. After attending a few trade shows Luke's vision for the company was clear, moving away from "tedious" manual labor and incorporating rapidly advancing technology into the sector.
As a manufacturer of residential cabinets, images that may pop into your mind are likely to be saws, a rustic workshop and saw dust. But in the case of Muskoka Cabinet Company you get something closer to the inside of an Amazon warehouse, with robotic arms and conveyer belts moving wooden elements across the factory.
"We consider ourselves as a high-tech company, that just happens to make cabinets," says Luke.
This $625,000 investment from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario will allow for the Albert-based company to further advance their equipment to keep pushing forward with state of the art technology.
Along with taking strides in terms of technology, the investment will lead to the creation of 7 jobs, and although it will "reduce the amount of manual labor", Luke is adamant that no-one will be let go from the company despite the upcoming changes.
