About Kadouri

Manufacturing in Israel since 1932

Three generations of one family, and a factory that has changed what it makes five times — each time because the market it served stopped existing. Today we make writing surfaces and carpentry.

What we make

Two products, four companies

Writing surfaces and carpentry, produced in our own plants and taken to market four different ways.

Since 1988

KWB

Writing boards and pinboards for schools and offices. Israeli agent for PolyVision, the world's leading manufacturer of writing surfaces.

Retail & online

Stonewood

Bathroom and laundry cabinetry with custom basins cut and formed in porcelain and Corian.

Business to business

Cabinet System

Carcass production for carpenters — for workshops with more work than floor space, and for small carpenters who sell and install their own.

India

Timberhaus

Bespoke solid timber and high-end modular furniture, produced in Pune and shipped worldwide.

Carpentry also goes directly into building projects — cabinetry and fit-out supplied straight to construction and renovation contracts, without a brand in between.

Where it is made

Four plants, two continents

Between them we can quote a project in engineered panel, porcelain, Corian or solid timber without sending any part of it outside.

Woodworking3,000 m² · 30 staff · central Israel

SCM machinery on nesting, sizing and edging — Pratix, a rear-loading beam saw, Olimpic 800 and Stefani edgebanders — with a KDT six-side driller, installed in 2025, setting the hardware holes. Nesting, edging, assembly and paint are all doubled, so a machine going down does not move your date.

Porcelain & solid surface1,000 m² · 5 staff

Five-axis waterjet, stone beam saw with router, bevel finishing and a vacuum forming line. Custom basins and worktops in porcelain and Corian.

Writing surfaces500 m² · 2 staff

A dedicated line that does one thing. Large-format work needs floor space and care rather than headcount — a classroom panel has to be laid out, framed, faced and handled flat without a mark on it.

TimberhausPune, India · 25 carpenters

Biesse Rover A five-axis CNC, Homag 380 PUR edgebanding, two Altendorf saws, an Italpresse lamination press, finger jointing and dual positive-pressure paint booths. Solid timber is a different craft from engineered panel, so it has its own plant.

How we work

You approve the model. The model cuts the parts.

Any competitor can buy the same machines. The difference is what happens before they are switched on.

Design

Infurnia

Cloud-native parametric BIM with manufacturing execution in the same platform. You are in the model on any device, not waiting on a drawing.

Engineering

Four production engineers

The model is resolved into manufacturable parts, tooling and hardware, with Fusion 360 for CAD/CAM where the geometry demands it.

Approval

Sign-off in 3D

You view and approve your design in the cloud. Design approved plus payment agreed is what starts the two-week clock.

Production

Straight to CNC

Cutting lists, board layouts, drilling programs and part tags come from that same model. No manual re-drawing, which is where dimensional error normally enters.

Both Israeli plants run on solar generated on their own roofs, with battery storage. Not a green tariff — generation on site, which also means a grid outage does not stop production.

Heritage

A painter from Baghdad

Shlomo Kadouri was born Salim Chalaschi. He left Iraq as the violence against its Jews rose, reached Tel Aviv in 1932, and opened a sign shop on Levinsky Street the same year.

For eighty-one years the company made the signs that named Israeli buildings. Then the market changed, and it changed with it — kiosks, retail displays, and now carpentry.

The full story
S. Kadouri Signs business card, 1932

On tin, on fabric, on glass. Raised letters. — the business card, 1932.

Engineered panel, porcelain, Corian, solid timber. — the plant, today.

Ninety-four years apart, the same sentence: here is what we can work in.

Send us the drawing

Whether it is a single run of carcasses or a full fit-out, the fastest way to a price is a model or a dimensioned drawing. We will tell you what it costs and when it ships.
