| Article | Charlotte, N.C. (Feb. 9, 2009) — Greyne Custom Wood Co. has relocated here from Baltimore, Md. The custom hardwood floor manufacturer began operations in January at its new facility located at 8520 Crown Crescent Court. “The decision to relocate was based on a need for more space due to business growth, as well as the ability to accommodate new equipment for more environmentally friendly manufacturing processes,” said President Reid Meisner. “We chose Charlotte because of its reputation for having a skilled and diverse work force and its pro-business environment.” The company purchased a 12,600-sq.-ft. facility and spent more than $1 million on renovations. A major portion of the remodel budget was spent on the purchase of a spray line and a Supernova roll coat line designed to apply VOC-free finishes. Manufactured by Superfici, they are the first of their kind to be used in a floor manufacturing and finishing process in the United States, and will apply oil finishes made by Woca, a Danish-based company specializing in floor and other hard surface coatings. “We were particularly impressed with Woca and the company’s focus on developing environmentally friendly vegetable oil-based finishes that contain little or no VOCs,” Meisner said. “The Superfici line will apply the products in a high quality and highly efficient manner with decreased dry times, allowing us to reduce turnaround time for our customers even more.” Greyne’s new facility is also outfitted with a specially designed dust collection system, which significantly reduces the amount of dust created in the manufacturing process, ensuring a higher quality finish, as well as making the plant’s interior safer for employees. |
