Irish PVC Tile Maker Moves to Missouri

Grandview, MO, Aug. 26, 2011 -- Perfection Floor Tile LLC, a manufacturer of interlocking PVC floor tiles, is moving its manufacturing from Armagah, Northern Ireland to Grandview.

CEO Nathan Ferman said the move is a logical step in shortening the chain of supply and in consolidating and streamlining the operation.

The new manufacturing facility will be part of a new corporate headquarters the company recently committed to in Grandview.

It will include a 28,000 square foot distribution center, corporate headquarters, and multiple injection molding production lines capable of producing 1 million tiles in the first year of operation.

“With the rapid growth rate our company is enjoying, it just didn’t make sense to continue to make our products for the North American market in Northern Ireland," Ferman said.

"Slightly higher stateside labor costs are offset by the savings on shipping, import duties, and some overhead expenses like utilities."
