Interface Breaks Ground on Tufting Plant Expansion
LaGrange, Ga. -- Interface broke ground on the first phase of its Kyle 2 plant expansion on December 5, 2017. Over the next three years, Interface will invest $40 million in its Troup County operations, which is estimated to provide Interface with an annualized cost savings of $30 million through higher efficiencies and material utilization, according to a statement.
The expansion is broken into two phases. Phase one, slated for completion in third quarter of 2018, will add 45,000 sq. ft. of production space and create an enlarged tufting room with up to 14 tufters. Phase two is slated for a 2019 completion and will transition a 30,000-sq.-ft. warehouse operation to a new purpose-built 100,000-sq.-ft. facility.
