Missouri Hardwood Flooring Mill For Sale

Birch Tree, MO, Sept. 25, 2009--Missouri Hardwood Flooring is expected to change ownership in the near future, according to the Howell County News.

The flooring mill in Birch Tree has been for sale since last fall when the mill had to let 18 employees go.

“As I’m sure you know, the building supply industry is pretty bad right now,” said manager and co-owner Rick Kercher. “It’s with great sadness that my family is forced to sell the mill we have operated in Birch Tree for so many years.”

Kercher does not expect the mill to close.

“We’ve never discussed closing the mill and I do not believe that it will shut down,” said Kercher.

“We have several organizations that have given firm offers for the company, and all have stated their desire to keep it running with the present Birch Tree work force intact. Hopefully the final sale will happen within the month.”
