AHF Products bringing 20 jobs to Somerset facility By Crystal Staley/Jack Mazurak Frankfort, KY - To pioneer a new line of highly durable end-grain hardwood flooring, AHF Products plans to invest $2.5 million and create 20 full-time jobs at its Somerset facility in Pulaski County early next year. Work on the expansion already has begun, and the new line is scheduled to begin operating in February. "We continue to invest in our Somerset plant due to the quality of the products and dedication to future growth that we see from employees," said Brian M. Carson, CEO of AHF Products. "Our customers continue to see value in U.S.-manufactured products, and this new development not only creates new-to-the-world technology but continues our commitment to domestic manufacturing and grows our share of U.S.-manufactured wood products." Headquartered in Mountville, Pennsylvania, AHF Products employs over 2,250 people across its seven manufacturing locations - six in the U.S. and one in Cambodia. The Somerset location has produced rotary engineered hardwood flooring since opening in 1990. "With this expansion, AHF Products demonstrates both Kentucky's excellence in manufacturing and that our manufacturers remain committed to creating jobs in our commonwealth as we work to rebuild our economy," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "I am grateful the company chose to create these new, high-skilled jobs and further invest in Kentucky, and I look forward to the facility's continued growth in Pulaski County." AHF Products, with decades of experience in wood flooring design and innovation, developed new technology for a first-of-its-kind category of hardwood flooring. The new product targets consumers who prefer hardwood flooring for its natural beauty, longevity and the value it provides to the home, but are seeking a strong performance product to stand up to pets, children and heavy foot traffic. AHF leaders opted to manufacture the new line in Somerset versus their facility elsewhere, in large part because of the commonwealth's highly skilled workforce and the company's strong commitment to U.S. manufacturing and American craftsmanship. In addition to creating 20 jobs at the plant, the new product line also helps secure the facility's viability and its current 145 jobs as the market shifts from the rotary engineered hardwood flooring currently made at the plant.
