From staff reports
LANCASTER COUNTY, PA – Armstrong Flooring plants in Beech Creek Township and Lancaster County remain in operation as the company’s future remains tied up in bankruptcy court.
According to recent information from LNP/LancasterOnline, Armstrong Flooring Inc., battling financial difficulties, is finalizing a sales agreement preserving a “substantial portion” of the Lancaster-headquartered company’s North American facilities.
Armstrong told LNP/LancassterOnline that details on selected bids and agreements will be filed with Delaware bankruptcy court in the “coming days.”
The story said Armstrong is working with the lenders that loaned it $24 million as it operates through the bankruptcy process. Next step in that process is a hearing scheduled for Tuesday morning before the court.
Armstrong Flooring provides 606 jobs in Lancaster County and another 35 in Beech Creek Township. In addition to its two Pennsylvania facilities, there are plants in Illinois, Oklahoma, Mississippi and Australia and China.
