Lux-Art Silks breaks ground on new warehouse facility

SARASOTA, FL -- Lux-Art Silks International announced that it has broken ground on construction of its new warehouse facility. Located adjacent to the company’s existing warehouse and showroom building, the new warehouse totals 20,000 sq.ft. on two levels and will serve as storage space only. This will increase the company’s total footprint to more than 50,000 square feet of showroom, design, manufacturing and warehousing / distribution space. Inventory will now be consolidated in one location, adjacent to the design/manufacturing center, for improved operational efficiency. The new facility is scheduled for completion in July 2008. Tom Wessel Construction is the general contractor.

Lux-Art Silks has been in business for over 40 years as a designer and manufacturer of permanent botanicals – artificial trees, plants and flowers – and sells to the furniture and interior design industry. The company maintains showrooms in Sarasota, High Point and Dallas.
