AHF Products will close its Warren, Ark., hardwood flooring manufacturing facility on Sept. 27 and move production to its Beverly, W.Va., and West Plains, Mo., plants, the company says.
The Warren plant’s 130 employees will keep their jobs until the plant closes. The company says it will provide employees with career counseling and try to help them find other employment.
The consolidation comes after AHF purchased two sawmills in West Virginia and invested over $25 million in its Beverly and West Plains plants to increase capacities.
"It was a difficult decision because closing a plant impacts people and their local towns. We are extremely grateful for the dedication and service of all the employees over the years since the plant has been in operation,” AHF CEO Brian Carson said in a statement.
