HCI Equity Partners has launched WF Cabinetry Brands to consolidate its investments in Wellborn Forest, Countryside Cabinets, and WoodHarbor Custom Cabinetry under a single umbrella.
Now combined under WF Cabinetry, the company is led by CEO Nick Billig and is headquartered in Alexander City, Alabama (located 50 miles north of Montgomery). WF Cabinetry manufactures and sells semi-custom and custom cabinetry to dealers, remodelers, designers, and builders.
Wellborn Forest was acquired by HCI in November 2018, Countryside Cabinets (then De Pere Cabinet) was acquired in September 2020, and WoodHarbor Molding & Millworks was acquired in October 2023.
“These three brands are all known for outstanding dealer service. As a combined platform, WF Cabinetry Brands will continue to listen, respond, and provide a seamless experience, delivering tailored solutions, reliable support, and quick action to meet our dealers’ and their customers’ needs,” said Mr. Billig.
Wellborn Forest is an Alabama-based manufacturer of semi-custom cabinetry sold to homeowners, remodelers, and homebuilders in a range of cabinetry styles, colors, and finishes. Countryside Cabinets is a Wisconsin-based maker of semi-custom cabinetry sold to builders, remodelers, and contractors, offering various cabinetry styles, colors, and finishes.
WoodHarbor Custom Cabinetry is an Iowa-based designer and manufacturer of luxury full-custom cabinetry, offering products crafted from 13 wood species with a wide selection of finishes and more than 120 door styles. The brand’s products—including its semi-custom line, Breeze—are used in residential kitchens, bathrooms, and other interior spaces by homeowners, designers, and builders.
“By bringing together these well-respected brands, we are building a strong foundation for long-term success,” said Mr. Billig. “Our mission is to leverage the combined strength of the three businesses to benefit our dealer customers while preserving the culture, craftsmanship, service, and customer-first values that define these brands.”
HCI Equity Partners invests in companies with annual revenue between $20 million and $200 million and EBITDA between $3 million and $25 million. The firm focuses on value-added distribution, outsourced manufacturing, business-to-business services, and niche manufacturing. The Washington, D.C.-headquartered firm was co-founded in 2003 by its managing partners, Dan Dickinson and Doug McCormick.
