AHF Products Doubles Cambodian Engineered Wood Floor Production Ability

As recent tariffs and duty hikes on wood flooring imports from China spur uncertainty in the industry, AHF Products (West Hempfield Township, Pa.) announced it is expanding production of its engineered wood flooring manufacturing facilities in Cambodia.

Since acquiring LM Flooring’s Cambodia manufacturing facility this year, AHF has doubled the site’s manufacturing volume, growing it from 12 to 24 million square feet.

“Our new additional Cambodian capacity allows us to expand sliced and sawn face product offerings with our customers,” AHF COO Mike Bell said in a statement. “We will be further growing the footprint of this plant in 2020 to the tune of 50 million square feet of total capacity.”

Imports of engineered wood flooring from Cambodia are tariff-free and duty-free, according to the company, which also has plants throughout the U.S.

“Although increased prices due to the tariff are unavoidable for certain flooring purchases from China, we are committed to helping our channel partners find opportunities to mitigate the impact,” CEO Brian Carson stated.

Since the trade tensions between the U.S. and China began more than a year ago, many U.S. companies have been looking to Southeast Asian countries for alternatives to Chinese wood flooring imports.
