Rosebud Manufacturing Expands

Posted on Wednesday, September 11, 2013

MADISON, SD - Rosebud Cabinetry and Lodging Furniture, makers of kitchen and bath cabinetry since 1965, are expanding their facility located in Madison’s Lakeview Industrial Park. The expansion will provide additional storage which will free up manufacturing space, allowing Rosebud to increase production capacity as well as their workforce.

“We are investing in our facility to meet customer demand and foster streamlined processes,” said owner Brian Kern. “We are experiencing growth in all of our cabinet lines and want to ensure we continue to provide a quality product in a timely manner.”

Rosebud offers state-of-the-art cabinet lines with 30 door styles in nine different wood species and finish options. In 1985, Rosebud expanded into the hospitality industry, providing furniture for hotels, assisted living facilities and other businesses and institutions. They also work with leading countertop fabricators and have many samples in their showroom.

According to Kern, a handful of Rosebud’s employees have been with the company for 35 years and their experience and knowledge has given the company a solid foundation to grow over the years. He believes Rosebud is in a great position to exceed their goals and consider another expansion in the near future.

“We are very excited for Brian and the employees of Rosebud,” said Lake Area Improvement Corporation Executive Director Julie Gross. “We appreciate their commitment to Madison and are pleased they continue to invest in their Madison facility. Retaining and expanding companies in the community is essential to economic growth.”

Gross added that while it’s great to bring new companies to Madison, it’s as important, if not more important, to retain the companies already in town. Studies indicate 70 - 90% of new jobs come from expansion of existing companies.

Construction at the Rosebud facility is underway with an anticipated completion date in October. New positions will be created by the expansion and interested persons should contact Rosebud Manufacturing at 605-256-4561 for more information.
