Mt. Clemens, MI (PRWEB) April 21, 2008 -- Michigan-based custom woodworking firm Kropp Woodworking (http://www.kroppwoodworking.com/) has partnered with England's premier kitchen designer Johnny Grey (http://www.johnnygrey.co.uk/). Kropp will be the exclusive US producer of Grey's unique kitchen and cabinetry installation designs.
The decision resulted from Grey's satisfaction with Kropp's previous work for his US presence. According to Grey, the move was cemented by Kropp's reputation for quality, timeliness and ability to execute ground-breaking design elements characteristic of Grey's style. "Kropp Woodworking's blend of state-of-the-art equipment, time-tested traditional techniques and passionate craftsmen ensures my designs are brought to life exactly as I envision them," says Grey. "I believe Kropp Woodworking will truly take Johnny Grey's American presence to the next level."
Paul Kropp, owner of Kropp Woodworking, is pleased to have the relationship with Grey. "Johnny's approach to design meshes well with our capabilities," says Kropp. "We pride ourselves on executing fresh and challenging projects, and our alliance with Johnny really lets us push the envelope." Because Kropp excels in high-end custom cabinetry, handmade furniture and architectural millwork, Kropp believes his shop will execute Grey's designs like no other. "Anyone can attempt to build straight from design drawings. But a close relationship between designer and maker and complete understanding of the philosophies behind those designs are imperative to achieve flawless execution," Kropp says. "The client receives a complete solution that works in perfect harmony with his or her needs and tastes."
Together, Kropp and Grey have executed work in diverse geographic areas including Alaska, California and the East Coast. Kropp and Grey currently are working currently on projects including the San Francisco Ritz Carlton, a multi-million dollar Sonoma, California ranch and a four-story Brooklyn, New York townhouse. They are also bidding on business executing designs for One York, an exclusive Manhattan residence building, as well as the Metropolitan Home Magazine Show House. Echoing Grey's sentiments, Kropp says that their alliance will strengthen both names in the US market. "As partners, we can now better serve our clients by way of full integration. We are successfully establishing the Johnny Grey name in America and are confident we will see continued growth and a lengthening list of satisfied clients as a result of our relationship."
