Dalton flooring manufacturer IVC US is expanding production, adding 30 jobs.
The expansion pushes the Belgium-owned vinyl floor company’s staff to nearly 200. Andrew Kearton, vice president of manufacturing, said in coming years the company plans to expand even more.
“We’re going to keep growing as the market demands, of course,” he said. “But we have a large shared plan development.”
The plant now occupies 520,000 square feet, and the company has the capability to double that footprint.
Most flooring manufacturers have struggled since the recession hit, slowing new construction to a crawl. But Kearton said IVC has been able thrive by capturing a large amount of residential remodelings and expansions. IVC hopes to expand its commercial flooring.
