AHF Products has entered into an agreement to acquire two West Virginia sawmills to augment the supply of lumber to AHF’s Beverly, West Virginia solid wood flooring manufacturing facility.
Under the agreement, AHF will acquire assets related to Allegheny Wood Products’ (AWP) sawmills in Smoot, Greenbrier County, and Norton, Randolph County.
AHF will be saving approximately 80 direct jobs at the two mills, which were originally slated to close at the end of March, and is expected to create approximately two times that, with new jobs being created for loggers, truckers, and suppliers in the region.
The purchase of the two sawmills recovers 100% of the lumber supply AHF would have lost due to the closure of AWP and secures a consistent lumber supply to protect AHF customers. These two mills combined will supply 25 million board feet annually.
AHF Products a leading manufacturer of hard surface flooring for residential and commercial interiors, and the largest hardwood flooring manufacturer in the U.S.
