Direct Answer
Cabo Cabinet Group operates a 700,000 square foot factory in Mexico with capacity for approximately 8,000 apartment units of cabinetry per month. That translates to roughly 200 shipping containers monthly. This is not theoretical capacity. This is active production volume serving builders, developers, contractors, and distributors across the United States. We are the largest cabinet factory in Mexico focused exclusively on serving the US trade.
An apartment unit typically includes 6 to 40 cabinets depending on the layout: kitchen cabinets, bathroom vanities, and closet systems. A 200 unit apartment project, for example, represents about 2.5 percent of our monthly output. A 500 unit project is roughly 6 percent. At this scale, we handle multiple large projects simultaneously without extending lead times or compromising quality.
Why It Matters
Production capacity determines whether a manufacturer can deliver on schedule when you scale. A factory running near its limits will push your timeline when demand spikes or when larger projects come through. A factory with room to absorb variation keeps your schedule intact.
For developers working on 100, 300, or 500 unit projects, knowing your cabinet supplier can handle the volume without bumping other clients matters. You need to know that when you confirm a spec, the 30 day production clock starts reliably. When your framing and drywall stay on track, your cabinets arrive on track. No surprise delays because the factory overbooked.
Our capacity also means we can phase deliveries to match your construction schedule. If you need 50 units in month one, 75 in month two, and 75 in month three, we sequence production and shipping to your timeline. Smaller factories batch everything at once, forcing you to warehouse or accelerate installation.
How It Works
We operate continuous production lines across the 700,000 square foot facility. Framed and frameless boxes, assembled and RTA, painted and stained doors in shaker, slim shaker, slab, and thermofoil. Each line runs to confirmed specs. Your project enters the queue when you confirm drawings and finishes, typically producing in about 30 days, then shipping by land to your US job site in under 7 days. Five weeks total from confirmed spec to cabinets on site.
The 8,000 unit monthly capacity represents steady state, not a surge number. We maintain this output month over month, year over year. National Accounts clients, our highest volume buyers, rely on this consistency across multiple projects in multiple markets simultaneously. You are not competing with us for our own attention.
Compare this to Asian manufacturing, where the same cabinets add 45 to 90 days of ocean transit after production. That extended pipeline makes capacity planning harder. A delay overseas compounds. A change order mid production often means starting over. Mexico manufacturing by land gives you a shorter, more controllable supply chain.
What This Means for Project Planning
When you plan a project, factor our capacity into your risk assessment. A factory producing 200 containers a month absorbs normal construction variability. Your concrete pour runs two weeks late, your cabinet delivery shifts two weeks without penalty. Try that with a factory running at absolute capacity limits or with overseas lead times.
For multifamily developers scheduling multiple projects, our capacity supports portfolio planning. You can stagger groundbreakings knowing the cabinet supplier will not become the bottleneck. Regional builders working several markets simultaneously can coordinate delivery schedules across job sites without one project cannibalizing another.
Ask your account contact about production slots during project planning, especially if you are scheduling deliveries six or nine months out. We work in partnerships over years. Visibility into your pipeline helps us hold capacity when you need it. For National Accounts clients moving serious volume, we build that planning into the partnership from the start.
