History
Starting in 1951, Alvin A. Goldhush, a Long Island dentist, made
dental cabinets and created the company Formed Laminates, Inc. in
Lindenhurst, N.Y. Goldhush eventually gave up dentistry and devoted
his time to the company, now named Raygold Corp. Raygold Corp
acquired a wood processing plant in Moorefield, W.V. in 1957. Boise
Cascade, at the time a conglomerate, acquired Raygold and moved the
company head office from Long Island to Winchester, Virginia. Boise
Cascade changed it business focus from wood products to paper
products. In 1979 executives of the cabinetry division initiated a
leveraged buyout. American Woodmark Corporation formed in 1980.
