CabinetMaker+FDM - October 2010

CabinetMakerFDM has launched an iPad App that gives a new definition to a digital magazine. The App, which can be downloaded free from Apple, gives readers full access to the magazine, interactive features, and news and product feeds from www.

CabinetMakerFDM.com.

The App is more than a simple page viewer. The reader can choose between seeing thumbnails of a page, a full page, or enlarged text versions of stories. It also allows viewers to link through directly to more features, advertising information, and videos, as well as access to RSS feeds from CabinetMakerFDM.com.

The App also allows viewers to easily bookmark stories, share stories with colleagues, and to search current and past issues.

The iPad App joins the iPhone App, launched in March, and the Mobile Web Reader that gives readers many of these same features on other mobile devices, such as a Droid or Blackberry, simply by pointing the devices’ browser to www.cabinetmakerfdm-digital.com.

“This gives our readers access to
all digital editions on any portable device

Uniboard entered into an exclusive supply agreement with California Closets for the manufacturing and distribution of its thermofused melamine panels. The agreement allows Uniboard to be the exclusive supplier for California Closets’ Lago collection in the Southeast U.S. market territory, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic.

Machines don’t know what time it is. If they did, they’d schedule all their problems between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. That’s why Stiles Technical Support is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. And even with more than 36,000 service calls annually, Stiles has an average response time of less than 30 minutes. Our targeted resolutions eliminate the need for on-site service in over 93% of the cases to save you time and money.
