It is possible that the company uses overlapping terms. The term "ebenisterie" seems to be used particularly for more elaborate woodwork.

Woodworking and Furniture crafting
Cabinetmaking requires woodworking skills. Therefore I would choose for woodworking and furniture crafting since these two terms are usually used separately. Ebenisterie is furnituremaking and ''schrijnwerk'' holds more than just making cabinets its related to every woodwork.

I presume that the company makes more than just cabinets

fine furniture making
I came late to this question, but as a holder of a UK City and Guilds 555 furniture making, former professor of Furniture at the Royal College of Art London and a City of London Livery man of the Worshipful Company of Furniture Making, I can vouch for this term. Ebenisterie is originally quite specific (ie making cheap wood look like expensive ebony), but it has remained in the domain of fine furniture. All craft terms should be used quite specifically as wages etc were dependent on the status of the job and the trade in which one was employed (eg a carpenter does not make furniture!)
