A new $28 million cabinet factory in Calhoun County could eventually employ more than 400 people.

Wellborn Cabinet’s new First Haven Cabinetry facility currently employs about 85 people, but the 250,000-square-foot factory, once fully operational, could be turning out as many as 2,000 cabinets a day in Oxford West Industrial Park.

The company recently celebrated the factory’s opening on its 60-acre complex. The project was announced in 2022.

Wellborn Cabinet CEO Johnny Simpson said the company will benefit from the Trump Administration’s tariffs on imported kitchen cabinets and vanities.

“We commend this bold and necessary action, which will help ensure that this facility and others like it across the nation reach their full potential,” Simpson said.
