The move, according to Harris-Tarkett President Jim Morando, was precipitated by customer demand for more unfinished strip products. "This acquisition, and the just-completed expansion at Stuart Flooring, will almost double our manufacturing capacity in this key segment of the industry," he explained
Harris-Tarkett said it plans to make additional capital investments to upgrade the product lines, add lumber grading and make other improvements to the infrastructure of the newly acquired facility.
