Leininger Cabinet & Woodworking, Inc. is a small shop that “kind of evolved” in a $2 million business, said company president John Leininger. His father Bob, founded the company in 1952 with the intent of making furniture, having studied with Tage Frid at the RIT School of American Craftsman. Finding it difficult to make a living as a furniture maker, he switched the focus to residential cabinetry. With a strong base of loyal customers, the shop was able to enjoy steady growth for a number of years. “We have always been interested in sustaining vigorous, well-rooted growth,” Leininger said.
