Armstrong Flooring CEO Says Onshoring Has Been Cost Saver

Sunnyvale, CA, April 8, 2016—CEO of Armstrong Flooring Don Maier recently appeared on Yahoo Finance where he said that the onshoring of engineered hardwood flooring production has been financially beneficial for the company.

“We have onshored almost all of our engineered wood production,” Maier said. “We’ve got a trend of bringing those jobs back to America.”

“We believe that gives us the best cost position,” he added.

In addition, Maier notes that he believes Armstrong has benefitted from Lumber Liquidator’s formaldehyde controversy. “We certainly have seen a nice pick-up across our other channels which have benefitted from that situation,” Armstrong Flooring CEO Don Maier told Yahoo Finance. “For us, when there’s times of uncertainty, consumers look for the most trusted brand. And Armstrong has the two most trusted and recognized brands in the flooring industry.”
