National Announces $4.5 Million Investment in UV Finish Technology at Kentucky Facility

National announced a $4.5 million investment to implement Ultraviolet (UV) finish technology in its Fordsville, Kentucky manufacturing facility. This technology utilizes ultraviolet light to cure National's water-based, environmentally-friendly finish, IntegraClear. This low-emitting, energy efficient process results in excellent clarity and durability while enabling National products to meet strict indoor air quality requirements.

The Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority (KEDFA) preliminarily approved National Office Furniture for up to $615,000 in tax benefits under the recently expanded Kentucky Reinvestment Act (KRA).

"National Office Furniture's decision to reinvest in its Fordsville operation, making environmentally-friendly improvements to its products and processes, is a fantastic success story," said Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear. "It demonstrates a perfect scenario where the state can assist existing businesses in its efforts to retool and become more globally competitive."
