The company sells more than 350 lines of cabinets for kitchens and bathrooms, a business that has slowed along with new-home construction. The reduced demand has led to the closure of an American Woodmark plant in Berryville, Va., and the temporary shuttering of one in Oklahoma. In March, the nation's third-largest cabinetmaker said its chairman would not seek reelection and would be replaced by chief executive Kent B. Guichard.

President and CEO: Kent B. Guichard
