Strong future
Paul is also no stranger to politics , particularly when it comes to protecting the industry to which he has dedicated his entire working life . “ As members of the American Kitchen Cabinet Alliance ( AKCA ), we were part of filing the largest trade case ( ADCVD ) against China in history . We won the case in a five-to-zero vote with the International Trade Commission , or ITC . The Chinese were using an illegal trade method known as “ dumping ” to undersell American Manufacturers .
“ If a kitchen cabinet cost them $ 150 to build , they would sell and ship it to America for $ 50 . Losing as much money as they had to for as long as they had to until they closed every manufacturer ’ s door in America . Thanks to the diligent work of the Trump administration and our team at AKCA , our industry - and over 250,000 jobs - were saved .
“ We stayed in Washington , D . C . for about two years , walking the halls of the Capitol ,” he reflects . “ We met with many senators , congressmen , and President Trump on multiple occasions . Realizing that we could lose an entire American industry , most of our elected officials as well as President Trump supported our efforts .”
ADCVD cases come up for renewal every five years , but after winning this first round , Paul is looking forward to a strong future buoyed by a healthy backlog of orders . “ The cabinet business has done pretty well ,” he concludes . “ Therefore , we believe in the years to come , we will continue to do well thanks to our dynamic approach to business . In the next three-to-five years , if business stays the way it is , the company could show growth anywhere from 50 percent up to double what we are doing today . We are constantly on the lookout for new things to make that possible .” ■
