Furniture World News

DeCoro, a leading manufacturer of leather and fabric sofas, has announced it will open a new 700,000 square foot factory this summer. The factory will replace it’s current 250,000 square foot facility which produces finished wood components such as legs and wood trim. Ground was broken in March at the new location in Huizhou, outside of Shenzhen in the Daya Bay Economic Zone. “The new factory will give us the capacity we need to meet all customer demands and continue to grow our business in the United States and also all across the world. We already have the best modern equipment, but we simply needed more space” said Luca Ricci, President and CEO. “The new location is also much closer to our main factory.” Cushman Wakefield is supervising construction of the building, which will provide component parts to the 2 million square foot factory DeCoro built in 2003, the largest upholstery factory in the world. Opening is planned for late August or September. “We are taking the steps required to support our growth, particularly the strong demand we have experienced for traditional styles with wood accents. The new factory will allow us to ship all segments of our product offering faster and more consistently. With many stores experiencing a difficult retail climate, we will continue to focus on timely delivery to be a better partner to our customers” commented Heath Corso, Executive Vice President.
