Gainesville, GA, August 11, 2015 --(PR.com)-- New Corporate Headquarters and Manufacturing Facility to Create 210 New Jobs.
American Home Products, LLC (AHP), the holding company for The Louver Shop and Danmer Custom Window Coverings, announced it will consolidate its East Coast and portions of its West Coast operations to a new location in Gainesville-Hall County, Georgia including its corporate headquarters and manufacturing operations. The company anticipates employing 210 at the new location with an $8 million capital investment in land, building and equipment.

The core values of our organization are to recruit, hire and train motivated and inspired people so that we can deliver the best possible customer experience. Those priorities and values have led us to Gainesville-Hall County where I believe we can achieve and exceed our goals. We greatly appreciate the support of the community, the Greater Hall Chamber of Commerce and the Gainesville and Hall County Development Authority. We are truly excited about the opportunity to have a new future in Gainesville- Hall County’s business community.”
