Armstrong replaces stencil process with next-generation manufacturing technologies
Armstrong World Industries Inc. has announced that it will cease production of its residential stencil manufacturing process at its Lancaster, Pa., floor plant effective Sept. 26. Declining volumes and a shift toward new products utilizing next-generation design capabilities are drivers of this decision, Armstrong says. The company anticipates that fewer than 50 employees will be impacted at the Lancaster plant.
Inventory levels of the most popular stencil products, including Jaspe and Stencil Craft, will be available to fill demand through first quarter 2004.
