Inside Kitchen Story’s Production Floor in Penang

Custom Cabinetry and Carpentry Projects in Progress

Take a behind-the-scenes look inside the Kitchen Story Sdn. Bhd. production floor in Penang, where multiple custom cabinetry and carpentry projects are currently in progress.

This is where design concepts begin to take physical form.

From panel preparation and cabinet component production to assembly and finishing, each project moves through a coordinated production process before installation takes place on site.

For homeowners and commercial clients, this production capability supports better communication between design, manufacturing and installation.

In-House Cabinet Production in Penang

Kitchen Story Sdn. Bhd. operates its own cabinetry manufacturing facility in Penang.

This allows the team to coordinate custom cabinetry production more closely according to the requirements of each project.

Our production capability supports:

• Custom kitchen cabinets
• Wardrobes
• TV cabinets
• Storage cabinets
• Built-in furniture
• Custom cabinetry
• Residential cabinetry
• Commercial cabinetry

Cabinet dimensions, internal configurations, finishes and selected specifications can be customised according to project requirements.

What Happens on the Production Floor?

A completed cabinet may look simple once it is installed, but there are several stages before it reaches the customer’s home or project site.

Depending on the project, production may involve:

Panel Preparation

Cabinet components are prepared according to the confirmed design, dimensions and material specifications.

Cutting and Machining

Panels and components are processed according to the required sizes and configurations for each cabinet.

Edge Finishing

Edge finishing helps complete exposed panel edges and contributes to the overall consistency of the cabinetry.

Drilling and Component Preparation

Cabinet parts are prepared for hardware, fittings and assembly according to the project requirements.

Assembly and Quality Checking

Components are checked and assembled before being prepared for delivery and installation.

The exact process may vary depending on the cabinet design, materials, hardware and project scope.

Why In-House Cabinet Manufacturing Matters

Having access to an in-house production facility offers several practical advantages.

Better Design and Production Coordination

Designers can communicate more directly with production personnel when checking dimensions, construction details and manufacturing feasibility.

Greater Customisation Flexibility

Different homes and commercial spaces have different layouts.

In-house production supports customised cabinet dimensions, storage configurations and project-specific requirements.

Better Quality Control

Production can be monitored throughout the manufacturing process, helping the team maintain greater consistency in workmanship and specifications.

Faster Communication

When questions arise during production, designers, production personnel and installers can coordinate more directly instead of relying entirely on external cabinet suppliers.

Improved Project Planning

Closer coordination between design and manufacturing helps support more organised production scheduling and preparation before installation.

Custom Kitchen Cabinet Production

Kitchen cabinetry needs to be planned according to more than appearance alone.

A practical kitchen should consider factors such as:

• Cooking habits
• Storage requirements
• Appliance dimensions
• Worktop requirements
• Daily workflow
• Cabinet accessibility
• Maintenance
• Available space

Custom production allows the kitchen cabinet layout and configuration to be adapted according to the actual dimensions and requirements of the home.

Custom Wardrobes and Built-In Furniture

Wardrobes and built-in furniture can also be planned according to the way the space will be used.

This may include consideration of:

• Hanging storage
• Drawers
• Shelving
• Accessories
• Clothing categories
• Room dimensions
• Available wall space
• Long-term storage needs

Rather than using a standard cabinet configuration for every customer, custom cabinetry can be adapted to the available space and intended use.

Residential and Commercial Cabinetry Production

Kitchen Story provides cabinetry solutions for both residential and selected commercial projects.

Residential applications may include:

• Kitchen cabinets
• Wardrobes
• TV cabinets
• Shoe cabinets
• Storage cabinets
• Built-in furniture

Commercial applications may include:

• Office storage
• Reception counters
• Display cabinets
• Retail cabinetry
• Pantry cabinets
• Built-in commercial furniture

The final specification depends on the actual site, design, material requirements and intended usage.

Technology and Craftsmanship Working Together

Modern cabinet production involves both manufacturing technology and experienced people.

Kitchen Story has progressively invested in cabinet production machinery, including CNC-related technology and edge-banding equipment.

Machine production supports consistency and precision, while designers, production supervisors, carpenters and installers contribute practical experience throughout the project process.

The objective is not simply to produce cabinets quickly.

The objective is to produce cabinetry that is practical, manufacturable and suitable for the customer’s project.
