$463 million expansion and 310 jobs! Thankful to have Kronospan in Oxford!

The EDC is pleased to announce an additional $101 million investment to Kronospan in Oxford, Alabama. Last week the Oxford City Council approved an amendment to a tax abatement officials granted in 2016 for Kronospan’s $362 million expansion that would create 160 new jobs. Kronospan returned for an amendment to that abatement as the investment has increased by $101 million and will add 150 additional jobs to their Oxford, Alabama headquarters.

This brings their Grow Bama project to a $463 million dollar investment, creating a total of 310 jobs for Calhoun County.

Tim Pack, Chief Financial Officer for Kronospan, said since the company began operations here in 2008, their total investment is approximately $800 million. He explained Kronospan’s Oxford facility is the most vertical laminate flooring manufacturer in North America, performing all necessary processes at the Oxford, AL site; from preparation of wood chips to production of the final laminate floor product. Kronospan prides itself on a start to finish product.

Their laminate flooring can be found worldwide, yet also locally at home improvement chain stores Lowe’s and Home Depot.
