Oriental Weavers Invests in U.S. Manufacturing and Warehousing Facilities
Oriental Weavers has made a significant capital investment to its U.S. manufacturing and warehousing facilities. The expansion, which occurred in late 2014, allowed for a 12% capacity increase at the company’s Dalton manufacturing facility and was due largely to the recent high demand for domestically-made products.
The company first invested in a new, high-speed loom to put the expansion wheels in motion. The new loom gives Oriental Weavers the exclusive ability to more efficiently produce American-made area rugs by increasing production, reducing waste and eliminating excessive inventory all while maintaining the existing level of required energy, according to the company.
