Ashley Furniture to Open New Wisconsin Plant

Chippewa Falls, WI – Ashley Furniture Industries will open a 127,000-sq.-ft. upholstered furniture manufacturing facility in Chippewa Falls, WI later this month. The multi-million-dollar investment will create more than 200 manufacturing and support jobs. Hiring started in May.

This new location expands the company’s national network of 12 production facilities servicing the U.S. The Chippewa Falls site will work in coordination with Ashley’s Arcadia, WI, advanced manufacturing and distribution facility, located 60 miles south.
