NatureKast company information
There are two main players in NatureKast’s history: a Canadian company with over 40 years experience in high-end indoor kitchens and an innovative dealer in Florida who wanted to use the luxurious wooden product outdoors, with no success. In 2005, fortunes changed when he had one of our Cypress doors molded in high density resin. After much trial and error, he perfected the technique and NatureKast was born. Driven by a fusion of fresh thinking coupled with fine craft.
NatureKast operated in Florida for the first few years, but quickly grew and needed to scale up operations. In 2015 production was moved to the factory in Canada in order to meet the increasing demand.
NatureKast is sold through an active and expanding Dealer Network. The dealer footprint has grown rapidly across America from 203 in 2015, 319 in 2016, 596 in 2017 and 828 in 2018.
Dealers can be found on the NatureKast dealer locator.

Quotes
“We’ve got applications in Northern Canada. It gets buried in the snow in the winter time. They hose it off in the spring look and they’re using it and it looks brand new. Right down to the Gulf Coast where we’ve got coastal applications with salt water and moisture and no issues at all.” – Mike Vahrmeyer, VP of Operations and Finance at NatureKast
“We’re offering the look of a custom indoor kitchen for the outdoors. Anything you can think of that’s needed to design an indoor kitchen, we have the ability to put it outside with our product.” – Chris Exelby, NatureKast VP of sales and marketing.
