History

In 1951, Alvin A. Goldhush created the company Formed Laminates, Inc. in Lindenhurst, Long Island, which made dental cabinets. He left his profession as a dentist and renamed the company Raygold Corp.{{Cite news|url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/business/1986/09/08/dentist-fills-kitchen-cabinet-orders-instead-of-teeth/e9526246-935b-46cc-888d-4751d1df3075/|title=Dentist Fills Kitchen Cabinet Orders Instead of Teeth|date=September 8, 1986|newspaper=Washington Post|access-date=October 14, 2018|language=en-US|issn=0190-8286}} In 1957, Raygold Corp acquired a wood processing plant in Moorefield, W.V.. Boise Cascade acquired Raygold and moved the company head office from Long Island to Winchester, Virginia.

In the late 1970s, Boise Cascade changed its business focus from wood products to paper products. In 1979, four executives of the cabinetry division (Bill Brandt, Al Graber, Jeff Holcomb, and Don Mathias) initiated a leveraged buyout. They formed American Woodmark Corporation in 1980 and floated on Nasdaq in 1986 for $15 per share.

Today the company operates 18 manufacturing plants throughout the US and Mexico and nine service centers who provide direct service to the new home construction market.
