Project Profile
Kitchen Craft Cabinetry, a cabinet manufacturer
based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, required a comparison
of the joint strength for different designs, adhesives,
and wood types used in cabinet doors that they manufacture.
Kitchen Craft consulted with the Engineering staff
at the Industrial Technology Centre, and together
we determined that tensile or joint strength testing
would provide the most cost effective answers.
