Lauriermax Custom Cabinetry: Artisan Craftsmanship Built in the Heart of Quebec Canada.
Transform your kitchen, primary bath, and architectural spaces with cabinetry engineered for enduring elegance, unmatched utility, and tailored distinction.
Lauriermax stands as one of North America’s premium full-custom benchmakers, directly competing against legacy heritage names like Wood-Mode, Kountry Kraft, Bentwood, Plato, and Plain & Fancy. Founded in 1967 in the heart of Quebec’s artisanal woodworking hub, Laurier-Station (formerly known as Cuisines Laurier), the brand was founded on a simple thesis: bridge old-world, furniture-grade cabinetmaking with modern CNC precision. Over five decades, Lauriermax expanded from a regional craft shop into a premier architectural resource for high-end kitchen, bath, and millwork showrooms across the United States and Canada.
What elevates Lauriermax above standard semi-custom lines is architectural flexibility without standard sizing restrictions. Their manufacturing capabilities allow designers to order custom down to the 1/16th of an inch, run fully bespoke panel profiles, integrate architectural millwork, and execute complex whole-home applications like kitchens, master walk-in closets, sculleries, home offices, primary bathrooms, and paneled libraries.
Lauriermax is known as one of the finest custom cabinetry manufacturers in the market that features classic European and American styling from traditional and transitional to modern and contemporary. They do more than simply craft furniture grade cabinets. Their passionate craftsmen blend the science of new technologies with the art of custom cabinetmaking to give designers the freedom to create environments that truly fit every customer’s style. Lauriermax’s inset, framed and frameless lines offer an amazingly diversified selection of door styles, materials, wood species, colors and specialty finishes. Grandior designers love Lauriermax for its extended flexibility and its capacity to deliver the most detailed projects, with the result, that each project becomes a personalized testament to our customers imagination, taste, and desires.

Lauriermax’s Heritage:
The French Tradition In Furniture
Lauriermax’s expertise comes from hundreds of years of tradition. More than 400 years ago, Europeans settled in Québec City region. These newcomers from France brought their French styles and traditions with them. With time, Québec artisans developed a style all their own.
Québec is a fertile melting pot of French, British, and American influences. This unique environment allowed Québec artisans to develop a distinctive savoir-faire. At the beginning of the industrialized age, a surprising number of woodworking shops sprang up in the Lotbinière and Bois-Francs regions (home to Lauriermax) and flourished both locally and in the U.S.
Lauriermax is the proud offspring of mixed ancestry, rich in knowledge and innovation. Each cabinet at Lauriermax reflects its heritage; each one abounds with tradition.
