About Us

Anton Cabinetry was founded in 1974 as a sole proprietorship by John Anton under the name Southwest Custom Cabinets. John’s purpose in launching this company was to bring to market custom designed and exceptional quality architectural woodwork to the industry, initially for the residential home builder of Texas. John gained great expertise working several years in the cabinet and millwork industry.

We started in a 500 sq. ft. metal building with basic equipment on a site 2 miles from our current location. Business began to grow slowly at first, yet as the quality and design of our cabinetry impressed several home builder contractors, business steadily increased enough to move to a larger location.

In 1976 we moved to our present location, occupying 2,400 sq. ft. With more space we were able to upgrade to new equipment and refine several aspects of production. The expansion and growth brought new team members, several of whom are still with us today. In 1980 we incorporated and continued to grow our customer base and began to research expansion into diverse commercial markets.

In 1988 we again expanded our facility to accommodate our sales staff, drafting department, accounting and, most importantly, our clients. We believe in working closely with our customers and in being responsive to their needs. Our personal commitment to excellence and quality in product and design earned us an exceptional reputation in the industry and among our client base. In 1989 Southwest Custom Cabinets became Anton Cabinetry. We were so sure of our product we put our name on it.

By the mid ’90s we were producing almost exclusively commercial casework serving markets throughout the US. We continued to add to our growing client base, to include Cook Children’s Hospital, Cinemark and additional theater chains like Regal Entertainment and Showbiz Cinemas.

By the early 2000s Anton Cabinetry’s location expanded to 65,000 sq. ft. We had also grown to be a major manufacturer of high-quality custom cabinetry, millwork, solid surface and architectural millwork for the healthcare, education, religious and entertainment markets throughout the country. As our business expanded, so did our diverse and talented work force. We wanted them and our methods to be as efficient as possible. It was then we decided to improve our procedures by implementing Lean Manufacturing, which improved our processes and lowered our costs, allowing us to be more competitive while still preserving our personal commitment to superior craftsmanship and quality in design. This also empowered us to maintain a healthy, fun and safe environment for our many team members, while also maintaining a purpose-built facility that refined our processes.

In 2017 Anton Cabinetry once again expanded our facilities, giving us a total of 75,000 sq. ft. We integrated new high-tech equipment to help streamline the flow of production even further. We continue to produce the highest quality architectural millwork in the industry for which we have earned our reputation over the almost 50 years we have been in business. Our mission is to continue to produce the highest quality and design of our products and execute all aspects in the most efficient and cost-effective way. With the ability to streamline our work production, we also strive to maintain an excellent work environment for our employees and continue to maintain the same personal relationship with our clients that we always have.
