Cabinetti Panels was established by the Mastroianni family to provide Australian cabinet makers and designers with quality solid and veneer panels.
Owner Mark Mastroianni is a cabinet maker based in Sydney and has been producing custom joinery for more than 22 years. It’s this experience and understanding of the quality required that gives him a unique insight into the needs of the industry.
“For many years I had been searching for quality cabinetry panelling, but nothing quite met our standards”, Mark explains. “Through years of researching a number of companies and brands, I landed upon Latho Components. It was at that moment I knew we’d found our brand showcasing quality product.” Mark wasn’t specifically looking for an Italian supplier however the connection between an amazing design aesthetic and high-quality materiality associated with an Italian-made product meant he was sure he’d found the right product for the Australian market that met international standards.
Mark did his due diligence and had a number of conversations with the owners of Latho Components before he and wife Kelly went to visit the facilities based in Treviso, Italy. “I was like a kid in a candy store,” Mark laughs. “And I was so impressed with the finesse and the finish. We were able to see the intricate detailing behind how the product was made and constructed”.
Mark and Kelly initially ordered some panels to be shipped to Australia and it was seeing the quality of the products first hand that made him even more sure that this was the right product for Australia. “The owners had never shipped products to Australia before,” explains Mark. “We had to do a lot of work to build their trust but as soon as we met face-to-face we knew it was a great fit”.
The Cabinetti Panels business model is very similar to the Latho Components business model – only on a slightly smaller scale. “Latho Components is based very much on knowledge and advice, and a high level of service to match the high quality of the products,” Mark says. “We set up Cabinetti Panels in the same way and we provide exactly the same service that I would expect if I was a purchaser”.
Integral to the success of Cabinetti Panels is Mark’s lived experience within the cabinet making industry which also meant he could easily spot the superior characteristics of the Latho Components panels. “I was so impressed with the detailing of the manufacturing process,” he says. “The way the panels matched up to create a seamless join is exactly what we need in the Australian market”.
With a product that is priced at the premium end of the market, Mark understands that it’s service that will set Cabinetti Panels apart. Rather than dealing with a salesperson, you’ll be dealing with a person with years of experience in the industry who is willing to collaborate to make your project a success.
Having – literally – walked in his customer’s shoes, Mark understands what designers and cabinet makers need to create unique, memorable projects. With his trade background he has a detailed understanding of both form and function and Mark prides himself on being able to provide next-level advice.
“My goal is to work in partnership with our customers to help with advice on product application and the intricacies of various environments, and to help with product selection,” he says. “Our aim is to provide quality service with a quality product where you can ask us anything and we’ll gladly share all our knowledge and expertise”.
Cabinetti Panels provides sample packs on request, understanding that the products speak for themselves with a range of natural solid timbers, profiles and veneers – even some that look like a fabric – so reach out and request your sample pack today.
Cabinetti Panels will be busy in the second half of this year fitting out a purpose-designed showroom to showcase the first two premium collections being offered in Australia; Milled and Move. Milled features solid timber skins and Move is a collection of patterned veneers, both natural and engineered. Most stock is held locally in Australia, reducing the long shipping times normally associated with a European product. Special order products can be air-freighted as needed.
The new showroom will be the perfect location for designers, renovators, builders and cabinet makers to view the products and bring clients for selection meetings. Set up with desks and accessories, you’ll be able to create flat lays and mix-and-match products to find the ideal solution – complete with true Italian coffee.
Italian hospitality is second to none, as is the idea of creating a “family”. Latho Components is a multi-generational family business, as is Cabinetti Panels, and both are excited to welcome their Australian customers into the family.
