Global supply chain issues have made every manufacturer rethink their sources of supply. For LM Flooring—and AHF Products— this meant a strategic shift out of Shanghai, China, and into nearby Cambodia.
“We built our Cambodia facility at the end of 2016,” said Kevin Whaley, vice president of sales and product, LM Flooring. “The original reason for building that was there were some challenges in China at the time on the business side with tariffs and duties. The labor costs in China had had significantly skyrocketed. We saw a lot of diversification starting to happen in manufacturing into Southeast Asia.”
