company profile: Bishop Innovation by Bishop: New products at prices never seen before It’s no secret that the past couple of years have been challenging for our industry. But as we learned early on, what matters most in difﬁcult times is how you respond. At Bishop, as the pressure of our backlog has decreased, we’ve accelerated our investment in innovation. In the past two years, we’ve introduced two new major product lines, a custom paint-matching system and Logi-Kitchen, a complete system never before available at our traditional price points. colors and materials, from woods and foils to high-end metals in eyepopping shades and exotic woods, such as bamboo. The unique style of our full-access cabinets encourages creative approaches, such as mixing materials in unexpected combinations, to create precisely the kitchen the homeowner imagines. Our full-access cabinets are not only beautiful—they are beautifully priced. Bishop’s innovative manufacturing techniques make these unique designs available at price points never seen before in the U.S. INSET CABINETS: A CUSTOM LOOK WITHOUT THE CUSTOM PRICE When we began our recent push toward innovation, inset cabinetry was our first goal. These cabinets have historically been available only from custom manufacturers, at custom prices. The precision and sophistication of inset cabinets create a tailored look that virtually screams of craftsmanship. At Bishop, we devoted considerable energy to rethinking the machining and manufacturing of inset cabinets to create a product line that is startlingly beautiful and priced at points that were unthinkable just a few short years ago. A NEW CONCEPT IN KITCHEN DESIGN Recently, we introduced Logi-Kitchen—a truly innovative system for organizing the kitchen to make every part of cooking—from prep work to cooking to clean up—more efficient. Logi-Kitchen places everything in the kitchen logically to eliminate wasted motion, to give the homeowner greater access to those things she uses most often, while keeping things that she uses less often within easy reach. But Logi-Kitchen is more than philosophy for organizing the kitchen— it’s the complete system. It includes a preplan (to organize the space before construction begins), as well as the cabinets and all of the accessories that make the kitchen more functional than ever before. All in one package. Logi-Kitchen is built on our full-access cabinets, which means the homeowner gets added space in addition to far more functional accessories. Over the past two years, when most cabinet manufacturers were looking merely to survive, we’ve been pursuing new products, new designs and new ways of thinking—all to give your customers more choices and better prices than ever before. CHOOSE ANY COLOR AND WE’LL MATCH IT Next we added custom paint colors. Our color system is certiﬁed by the Kitchen Cabinet Manufacturers Association. No matter how unusual your homeowner’s request, we’ll match it. Spot on. Every time. And the process is simple, ensuring that your customer gets exactly the kitchen she wants. HIGH-END EUROPEAN DESIGN WITHOUT THE HIGH-END PRICE In May of 2009, we introduced a new line of full-access cabinets. Our full-access cabinets feature exquisite European fashion in a wide variety of jaw-dropping designs that no custom cabinetmaker can touch. Our full-access cabinetry offers a huge variety of styles from traditional cherry to ultra-modern, and an equally limitless variety of special advertising section 47
