Promosa Announce Expansion Plans |
Woodgrain Millwork, one of the nation?s leading manufacturer of mouldings and interior doors and their Chilanian partner Promosa , will soon break ground on another joint venture project , a new manufacturing facility in Los Angeles, Chile. Construction will soon begin on the 125,000 sq. foot plant, which will be up and running within the next 18 months. The facility will produce Woodgrain?s premium line of Radiata Pine doors and is expected to bring 300 jobs to this region of Chile.
?Increased demand and better vertical integration are major forces behind this expansion?, says Reed Dame, CEO and president of Woodgrain Millwork. ?Demand for our product is good and we expect it to remain so in the future. This new plant will help us meet the demand of current and future customers.?
Woodgrain will also realize better efficiencies of resources with this expansion. ?We will be able to harvest our very own plantation wood; mill it and then produce doors with the technology, experience and knowledge we have gained here in the U.S., ? said Dame.
Woodgrain?s Radiata Pine doors are constructed from veneer laminated components utilizing RF (Radio Frequency) technology and traditional glueing and doweling methods for greater strength and stability. Woodgrain incorporates PLC technology into the manufacturing processes to improve material yields, ensure product consistency, and high quality on every door produced.
Woodgrain Millwork is a leading producer of mouldings, windows and the largest manufacturer of interior pine passage doors in the world. With four divisions and over 20 manufacturing and warehouse facilities in the United States and South America, the company serves markets throughout North America.
