Interior Products was incorporated in Brunswick, Georgia during the spring of 1984 for the purpose of manufacturing and marketing interior residential and commercial wall products. The original manufacturing facility was 14,000 square feet. Production began in February 1985. The initial work force consisted of seven employees including administration, production, and marketing personnel. The primary product was Tambour, a flexible interior surface material, manufactured as a private label product for national distribution firms including Armstrong World Industries, Formica Corporation, and Ralph Wilson Plastics. In 1986, the company created its own line of tambour products, “Visions,” and established a national network of distribution. Since Tambour’s secondary use is for roll top desks, Interior Products began to target major furniture accounts, especially the ready-to-assemble manufacturers like Sauder Furniture, O’Sullivan Industries, and Bush Industries. During 1989, the company realized that production capacity, marketing efforts, and company growth was limited at the original facility. A new facility with 35,000 square feet of combined office and production space was designed and constructed on 6 acres of property. With recent additions, the facility is now approximately 50,000 square feet. With the increased space, manufacturing and marketing initiatives have been expanded. A new line of patented products has recently been introduced to include Kerfkore, Timberflex, Flexboard and Ultralite. These are revolutionary bendable substrates that replace conventional bending plywood in the fabrication of curved or radius surfaces. The products are marketed nationally in sheet form through the distribution network and are in high demand in the furniture and display industries for radius components. A joint venture was formed in 1996 utilizing the company’s equipment and expertise to manufacture architectural ceilings of solid wood and veneered panels. Sales and marketing of these products are handled through our partner, but the entire production, assembly, finishing and shipping processes are completed in Interior Products’ facility. Shipments of ceiling products, primarily to commercial and government projects, go to all parts of the United States and to worldwide customers. As a result of extraordinary production demand in 2000, Interior Products will be embarking on a new endeavor in 2001 by focusing solely on manufacturing board products and cut-to-size or prelaminated flexible panels. The company will no longer dilute its efforts by manufacturing formed components, wood ceilings and other custom products. Interior Products, with its attention to quality, service, and cost, and its multi-product and multi-market flexibility has become a leader in the industry and is serving a world market.
