About EASI
Euro Assembly Systems, Inc. (EASI) has been crafting custom cabinets for more than 34 years and European style cabinetry for 31 years.

The Early Years
We began as a full service custom cabinet and furniture shop in St. Helens, Oregon. Doing face frame kitchens, as all cabinets were, primarily made from Birch and Oak veneer with bevel overlay doors, plywood construction, dados, nails, top frame, Cut, cut, cut - sand, sand, sand - using a lot of time and material.

The “shop” was in my girlfriends’ basement measuring 10’ wide, 30’ long with a 7’ ceiling that had four stairs going down a 28” cement walled opening. The assembly room was in the living room of the house. John, my girlfriend’s dad, to whom I have a great deal of respect, awe and gratitude, was old and withered with incredibly long brilliant white hair. He would watch through thick glasses that made his eyes seem a foot around while smoking a hundred packs of cigarettes a day. He watched intently as we built a dozen or so kitchens jumping up every now and then to pick out a bent nail or help move a cabinet through his dust infused house.

We soon moved to downtown St. Helens across the street from Jay’s café, home to some of the biggest pancakes you ever did see, bottomless four hour coffee if you wanted and sometimes did and a colorful eclectic mix of local personalities. We were in an old car dealership with big windows facing the street with convenient large double doors. The local printer, who used lead type – Don Bemis I think - on one side and a record store on the other. After about 9 months the city thought it was a good idea not to have this type of business in the middle of downtown.

The Formative Years
I acquired my advanced skills during the 7 years at the Rock Creek shop in Washington County. Living in the shop allowed me to hone skills in design, specialty work and installation for all the hours that I wanted.

During the first four years at Rock Creek I worked with a contractor who specialized in commercial tenant improvements. With Chuck, I developed the talent for doing custom curved reception counters, compound angles, laminate and fixtures. What also stood out was the commercial world wanted European Style Cabinets.

Euro style pushed into the mainstream residential market fueled by designers who saw the beauty and design potential of full access cabinets for the home along with efficient use of space and materials.

Time to Get Serious                       
Rebecca and I were married in 1985 and that same year moved to our current location in Forest Grove, OR. We had a girl in 1988, a boy in ’91.

We started out with 4,000 sq ft and as our business grew stronger we expanded into 9,000 sq ft doing full service Custom Euro Style Cabinetry for both the residential and commercial markets.

In the late 80's computers linked up to machines and engineers sized them for use in mid-sized shops. We anticipated the need to modernize and jumped onto the machinery parade and now currently utilize 7 pieces of computerized high production equipment. We are a thoroughly modern cabinet production facility.

I didn't see how if everyone ended up buying machines how all that production capability could be used. In 1992 I created Euro Assembly Systems, Inc and The EASI System. For 10 years Emerson Hardwood in Portland, OR was our distributor for custom Euro Style Components made for cabinetmakers.
