To further our commitment to creating jobs in the United States and investing in talent right in Tennessee, we are proud to announce an expansion to our manufacturing plant and corporate offices, which were destroyed by a fire less than one year ago. Along with the expansion, we will be able to create about 200 jobs right in Claiborne County, Tennessee.
England Furniture Factory
The 87,000-square foot expansion to the already 400,000 square-foot England Furniture factory gives us the space we need to provide more great pieces for families all over America. To kick off construction, we were proud to have Governor Bill Haslam and Commissioner Bob Rolfe attend Plant 8’s expansion ceremony on February 21st. Keeping in line with our corporate philosophy, we are wasting no time getting to work so the plant expansion happens as quickly and smoothly as possible. We are proud be part of a movement to revive American manufacturing!
Corporate Office
The fire in May 2017 completely devastated our corporate office, but in the following months, we were able to continue to deliver the same level of service to customers, delivering furniture in three weeks or less. In place of what once was, the new corporate office building will cover 22,500 square feet—best of all, the building will be LEED certified in order to ensure it follows high environmental standards.
About the England Furniture Company
England Furniture has been operational in Tennessee for over 50 years, and is committed to creating high quality furniture and dependable jobs in the state. Co-founded by Charles, Eugene and Dwight England, these brothers decided to invest in the hardworking spirit of Appalachia where the business evolved to what it is today. The company’s competitive advantage lies in the short build cycle in crafting high-quality furniture. There are hundreds of fabrics and styles to choose from, so you can customize each piece to perfection. England Furniture has operated as an independent division of La-Z-Boy Co. since 1995.
