Jul 28, 2014. /Lesprom Network/. Quality Hardwood Sales, LLC plans to expand its operations in Nappanee, Indiana, creating up to 25 new jobs by 2016. Moving all production in house, Quality Hardwood Sales plans to add 50,000 square feet to its current facility for domestic and foreign inventory, which will allow it to utilize a total of 128,000 square feet of operational space by April, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

Quality Hardwoods Sales, which currently employs approximately 85 full-time Indiana associates, plans to begin hiring machine operators, off bearing associates and forklift drivers in April.

"Indiana provides the ideal central location to expand our business, keeping us close to our customers," said Darin Hurn, co-owner of Quality Hardwood Sales. "Elkhart County, in particular, is known as the RV capital of the world, also with a significant concentration of kitchen cabinet manufacturers. This the best place to add new jobs."

The Indiana Economic Development Corporation offered Quality Hardwood Sales, LLC up to $200,000 in conditional tax credits based on the company's job creation plans. These tax credits are performance-based, meaning until Hoosiers are hired, the company is not eligible to claim incentives. The city of Nappanee approved additional incentives at the request of the Nappanee Area Chamber of Commerce.

Founded in 2001, Quality Hardwood Sales manufactures wood interior products for the RV industry and constructs component parts for kitchen cabinets, furniture and other custom orders.
