09172015 Kas Rugs' New Warehouse Increases Total Capacity to 231,000 Square Feet

SOMERSET, NJ - KAS Rugs announces that construction of its second Calhoun, GA warehouse is complete and the 120,000-square-foot facility is now operational. This latest capital expansion brings the company's total distribution and warehousing capacity in Georgia to 231,000 feet, poising KAS as an industry leader in quality control and timely delivery of products as well as fashion and design.

"We are looking forward to the increase in our operational capacity this expansion allows. It represents an investment in our operations as well as our customers," said Rao Yarlagadda, president, KAS. "The additional warehouse will further our ability to service our customers in a timely manner as they have become accustomed to over the years. "KAS is proud to say that 95% of our orders are filled within 24 hours and the additional warehouse now allows us to turn around orders even faster than before," he added.

The addition of the new warehouse, which is joined to the original distribution center by a passageway to optimize efficiency, follows on the heels of an exciting and successful 2014, Yarlagadda said. The company completed a corporate rebranding program for an updated, cleaner graphic identity.  KAS also expanded and remodeled its showrooms in Atlanta, Las Vegas and High Point. "Each showroom not only feels more inviting with an open floor concept, but each space now has a new designated section for our new home décor offerings and designer partnerships."

KAS has worked closely with Bob Mackie Home and Donny Osmond Home to create innovative and quality products under licensing programs. Bob Mackie Home is set for another product launch at the upcoming High Point Market in October. Donny Osmond Home now includes three successful rug collections and coordinating decorative pillows. The company is gearing up for New York Home Fashions Market as well, where its showroom is located at 295 Avenue.
