Powell and Montgomery Counties are some of the latest Kentucky communities to see job growth and economic investment.
Powell Valley Millwork recently announced a $29.6 million investment across two projects touching both counties.
Upgrading Operations
Powell Valley Millwork is a manufacturer of interior moldings, millwork and trim boards, produced with both Tulip Poplar and Radiata Pine.
Both of Powell Valley Millwork facilities are more than 30 years old.
The company is investing and upgrading its operational capacity and equipment to remain competitive in the wood industry.
“This expansion reflects our long-term commitment to growth, innovation and the future of Powell Valley Millwork. With the support of CMPC, we’re significantly increasing our production capacity and making strategic investments in automation and equipment – including new systems from Eagle Machinery, Stiles Machinery and TS Machinery – that will improve speed, precision and efficiency across our operations,” said Jimmy Thornberry, CEO of Powell Valley Millworks. “By expanding our production capacity for both Poplar and Radiata Pine products, we’re strengthening our ability to serve customers across North America with greater consistency, shorter lead times and increased flexibility. These projects align with CMPC’s global strategy and reinforce our shared vision for sustainable, scalable manufacturing in the U.S. We’re excited about what this means not just for our customers and suppliers, but for our employees and the communities of Clay City and Jeffersonville, where we’ll be creating new jobs and opportunities for long-term growth.”
The project includes investments in modern equipment and automation, as well as operation changes to increase production and building and equipment improvements.
Three Decades of Experience
The project is set to create 33 new jobs.
Overall, the company’s expansion of both its facilities will double production capacity.
“Powell Valley Millwork has successfully produced sustainable wood products for over 30 years in Kentucky and is positioned for even more growth with this expansion of both facilities,” said Governor Andy Beshear. “I want to congratulate the company’s leadership on this progress and thank them for their longstanding commitment to the commonwealth. I’m excited to see Heritage Millworks continue to grow and thrive in Powell and Montgomery counties.”
Powell Valley Millwork has more than three decades of experience.
Over the years, the company has built a strong reputation for quality, while continuously investing in its people, operations and the communities it calls home.
Additionally, Powell Valley is committed to sustainability and operates with a zero wood-waste policy and sources responsibly to reduce its environmental impact.
