History

In 1951, Alvin A. Goldhush, a Long Island dentist, made dental cabinets and created the company Formed Laminates, Inc. in Lindenhurst, N.Y. Goldhush eventually gave up dentistry and devoted his time to the company, now named Raygold Corp. Raygold Corp acquired a wood processing plant in Moorefield, W.V. in 1957.
Boise Cascade acquired Raygold and moved the company head office from Long Island to Winchester, Virginia. In the late 1970s, Boise Cascade changed it business focus from wood products to paper products. In 1979, four executives of the cabinetry division initiated a leveraged buyout. They formed American Woodmark Corporation in 1980 and IPOed on the NASDAQ in 1986 for $15 per share.
Today the company operates nine manufacturing plants throughout the US and nine service centers who provide direct service to the new home construction market.
