In 1995, Omar Cepero started his journey in the kitchen cabinet industry from the backyard of his home. As a 20-year-old from Cuba, he brought with him not just dreams, but a determination to succeed against all odds. With dedication, he and his father crafted his first kitchen cabinet, laying the groundwork for his future. By 2000, Omar’s vision and hard work culminated in the establishment of Sevilla Cabinets Group, renowned in Florida for its innovative thermal foil cabinets. His company revolutionized production methods, setting new industry standards. However, the 2008 financial crisis posed an unforeseen challenge, forcing Sevilla to close and nearly costing Omar his home. Undeterred, Omar embarked on a journey in 2011 that would redefine his career. He discovered the potential of High Gloss Panels, a popular trend in Europe yet unknown in the U.S. Through a strategic partnership with a Spanish company, Celso became one of the first to introduce high gloss kitchens to the American market, leading to a surge in demand. Today, as the founder of CEMA HOME, Omar Cepero is recognized for his resilience, innovation, and significant contributions to the U.S. kitchen cabinet industry. Supplying key developers across the nation, Omar's story is one of triumph over adversity, a testament to the enduring spirit of a dreamer and a doer.
