New York — Ashford Court, manufacturer and importer of decorative pillows, throws, bed coverings and kitchen textiles, recently expanded its Richmond, VA-based facility by almost twice its original size to 105,000 square feet.

"More importantly, this expansion allows us to more than double our loading and shipping docks from 3 to 8," said Neil Zuber, president. "Having a larger facility is really important for us because it gives us the opportunity to enlarge our bed covering manufacturing facility and also gives us more storage space for our imported goods."

The new facility will support the company's recent expansion into new categories beyond decorative pillows.

"The space for the new facility became available and we took it. We've wanted it from day one," Zuber said. "It was a tire warehouse that is part of the same complex we are in and it is adjacent to ours, so all we have to do it cut a hole in the wall and get right into it."
