Each February, ZLINE is honored to attend the Kitchen & Bath Industry Show (KBIS) to showcase its industry-leading products to the largest gathering of home improvement professionals under one roof.

KBIS, the National Kitchen & Bath Association’s annual marquee event, returned for the 61st year on Feb. 25-27, drawing over 43,000 registered visitors and nearly 700 exhibitors across 500,000-plus square feet of exhibition space at the Las Vegas Convention Center. This year’s event also welcomed over 150 first-time exhibitors and nearly 270 international exhibitors, making it one of the biggest global showcases ever.

Spanning two stories and 2,000 square feet, ZLINE’s exhibit was centrally located on the convention floor, making it one of the more popular booths there. It included five expansive kitchen layouts, a visually captivating bar area, and a specialty product tunnel meticulously designed by Director of Design Moe Merkert and Art Director Misato Morita, with cabinet displays by booth partners Fabuwood, Parriott Wood, KitchenCrest Cabinets, and Amberleaf Home.

More than 6,000 architects, designers, builders, remodelers, dealers, and other industry experts visited the ZLINE booth to explore over 60 products on display and participate in special events. Daily giveaways of ZLINE’s luxurious cookware and knife sets included three lucky winners receiving a Mark Estee Signature Series Knife, set for release later this year.

Estee, a renowned chef, restaurateur, and community leader in Northern Nevada and beyond, also led several popular live cooking events featuring ZLINE appliances, including “The Art of Home Cooking” breakfast demonstrations and “Sip & Savor Happy Hour” sessions.
“What a show we had. This was my third KBIS event with ZLINE, and our booth was rocking and rolling,” Estee notes. “The layout and the team had an energy that was contagious. We had so much fun with the cooking demos.”

“Our success at this year’s show is a testament to the exceptional collaboration of our team, our partners, and our customers, and it’s what drives our company forward,” adds Brit Angelesco, ZLINE Executive Vice President. “We’re energized by the incredible engagement and overwhelming response from attendees, and we look forward to building on this momentum for a year filled with opportunities and continued growth.”

Indeed, continued growth will be a defining trend in 2025 and beyond for the kitchen and bath industry, both in the U.S. and internationally, NKBA Global President & CEO Bill Darcy outlined in his State of the Industry address.

Despite economic and political volatility leading to consumer uncertainty and stagnant demand, Darcy cited key factors such as lower borrowing rates, record-high home equity levels, pent-up demand for renovations, and the transfer of wealth from baby boomers to millennials as growth indicators. To that end, NKBA’s 2025 Kitchen & Bath Market Outlook Report projects residential kitchen and bath spending to grow by 0.8% to $235 billion.

ZLINE is poised to play a significant role in that growth, evidenced by the several innovations and never-before-seen designs displayed at KBIS 2025, including the recently unveiled line of Graphite Gray Interior refrigerators, in addition to DuoPro™ Cooktops and Column Refrigeration, both slated to launch this spring and summer.

Moreover, in-depth plans are in the works to launch several more innovative appliances, plumbing fixtures, cookware products, and more in 2025 and onward as we continue to expand our market reach with a growing portfolio of appliances that wholeheartedly embrace our commitment to provide an undeniable ZLINE Attainable Luxury® experience.

“KBIS, to us, is tremendously exciting because not only do we get to see how the competition stacks up, but also we get to experience first-hand the overall impressions from our latest product designs — some of which are experimental. The overwhelming response from this year’s show underscores the momentum we’re building,” says Mason Watkins, Senior Director of Marketing. “As we look ahead, 2025 will be a defining year of growth and creativity for ZLINE as we continue to embrace principles that redefine the appliance shopping experience with accessibility and top-tier, industry-leading designs.
Another highlight of KBIS 2025 was the celebration of the newest Thirty Under 30 Class. Now in its 13th year, the program recognizes rising industry stars for their workplace achievements, community leadership, and commitment to excellence.

ZLINE Brand Manager Bryce Agulto, who celebrated his fourth year with the company this month, was among the 30 honorees, the latest in a growing list of ZLINE staff members to earn this prestigious recognition over the years.
"My favorite part has been connecting with incredible professionals from various industries,” Agulto said about being a ZLINE ambassador at KBIS this year. “It’s fascinating to see how different sectors within the kitchen and bath space intersect and collaborate."

Looking ahead, KBIS will take place Feb. 17-19, 2026, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, where ZLINE will once again take center stage. To learn more about the biggest trade show of the year, check out the ZLINE at KBIS web page.

With ZLINE, luxury isn’t meant to be desired — it’s meant to be attainable.
