At Somrak Kitchens, the cabinetry we curate does not simply fill a space. It tells a story. A story of families who built businesses across generations, of craftspeople who show up every day with the same commitment their parents and grandparents brought before them. As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday this July, we are proud to say that the majority of the custom cabinetry we offer is made right here in the United States.
Rooted in the Same Values
This commitment to American craftsmanship is not something new for Somrak Kitchens. It is baked into our founding. Robert A. Somrak, Sr., who started in the kitchen business more than 70 years ago, led Somrak Kitchens with quiet distinction until his passing at the age of 101. He built his reputation on a simple but enduring belief: that the most important step in any design project is working with a reputable kitchen dealer dedicated to quality and service. The American-made cabinet makers we offer today are a direct reflection of that principle.
The Names Behind the Craft
Each of the manufacturers we carry was chosen because they build with integrity, stand behind their work, and share our belief that a kitchen is more than a room. Below are the American makers whose cabinetry you will find at Somrak Kitchens.
Wood-Mode Fine Custom Cabinetry
Kreamer, Pennsylvania | Est. 1942
Family owned and still handmade after more than 80 years, Wood-Mode builds every cabinet at its Pennsylvania facility with a workforce that runs generations deep. What truly sets them apart, however, is something you notice the moment you see the work up close: a finish that is simply without equal. From wood sourcing to the final coat, every step of the Wood-Mode building process is designed to produce a surface that no other manufacturer can match. That level of refinement carries through to delivery, with each piece individually wrapped, transported on a Wood-Mode truck, and hand-set into place by their own team. It is the kind of care that begins at the source and does not end until the last door is hung.
Rutt Quality Cabinetry
New Holland, Pennsylvania | Est. 1904
Distinguished by detail is not simply a tagline at Rutt. It describes a philosophy that has guided their craftspeople for over a century. Every piece of Rutt cabinetry is built to your specifications from premium hand-selected and hand-matched materials, assembled with precision fit and an exacting attention to detail. Their work extends beyond the kitchen to virtually any room in the home, bringing a consistent standard of American tailored cabinetry wherever it is placed.
Mouser Cabinetry
Elizabethtown, Kentucky | Est. 1955
From humble beginnings in New Haven, Kentucky, Mouser has grown into one of the most respected names in custom cabinetry, serving the eastern two-thirds of the United States for 70 years. Every cabinet is custom-crafted from the finest select woods and finished with oven-cured catalyzed sealers and topcoats built for a lifetime of use. Their breadth of door styles, wood species, and finish options gives designers and homeowners an exceptional range of creative possibilities.
Plato Woodwork
Plato, Minnesota | Est. 1893
With roots stretching back to 1893, Plato Woodwork brings five generations of family knowledge to every cabinet they build. Proudly made in the USA and committed to environmentally sound practices, Plato offers a range of product lines that blend timeless craftsmanship with modern versatility. Their reputation for customer service is as strong as their reputation for quality, and the results speak for themselves in kitchens that still draw compliments decades after installation.
Why It Matters to Your Kitchen
Choosing American-made cabinetry is not simply a statement of patriotism, though there is certainly pride in it. It is a practical decision with real benefits for homeowners. Domestic manufacturing supports tighter quality control, more consistent lead times, and greater accountability throughout the supply chain. When something is built by people who have spent their careers perfecting a craft, the difference shows in every drawer dovetail and door joint.
Seventy Years of Knowing the Difference
For more than 70 years, the Somrak name has connected Greater Cleveland homeowners with products worthy of the spaces they are creating. Our award-winning design team brings well over a century of combined experience to every project, guiding you from initial concept and material selection through delivery and installation with the personal attention that only a family-owned business can provide.
This July, as the country marks 250 years of American ingenuity and independence, we invite you to visit our Bedford Heights showroom and see firsthand what that spirit looks like in a kitchen. Call us at (216) 464-6500 to schedule your design consultation.
