Kemp today announced a $22 million expansion by flooring manufacturer Mannington Mills, Inc. in Gordon County due to increased customer demand for domestically produced luxury vinyl flooring. Mannington Mills purchased a 10.5-acre site in Calhoun that will expand upon the company's manufacturing presence in the state and create 268 jobs. "This expansion is more great news for Northwest Georgia and a testament to existing industries in our state receiving a major return on their investments," said Governor Kemp. "I appreciate Mannington's continued dedication to the hardworking Georgians in our skilled workforce in the area and congratulate the community on this exciting announcement." Mannington Mills is one of the world's leading manufacturers of residential and commercial flooring with operations across the United States as well as in the U.K. Georgia has been home to three Mannington Mills facilities for 53 years, and this is the third expansion in two years at the Calhoun facility. "Acquisition of this site is part of Mannington's long-term growth investment plan for the Northwest Georgia area, and we were pleased to once again work with the Georgia Department of Economic Development on the project," said Russell Grizzle, president and CEO of Mannington Mills. "Mannington continues to experience high demand for the flooring products we make in Georgia, and this will help us accommodate and capitalize further on that demand." In 2019, Georgia was the number one exporter among U.S. states for floor covering products with a total export value of $485.4 million, and Northwest Georgia hosts the bulk of the state's floor covering industries. The State of Georgia's newest strategic logistics asset - the nearby Appalachian Regional Port - plays a key role in Georgia's supply chain network. 2/21/2020, 8:06 AM Mannington Mills to Expand, Create 268 Jobs in Gordon Co. https://madmimi.com/p/a227401?pact=579931-157004468-1155446486... 2020 Office of Georgia Governor Brian P.
