 Attorney Ed Volk and Tommy Shelef field questions about Selected Furniture
Over the past several weeks, rumors have floated around Knox that a furniture manufacturing plant will be locating here. Those rumors have been confirmed. Selected Furniture will be moving to Knox from China. The deal was closed last night when the Knox City Council passed two resolutions: one for economic revitalization and the other on benefits for tax abatement.
The plant that most recently housed the Rockwell plant has been purchased by Selected Furniture with 25 employees being hired soon.
Tommy Shelef, Managing Director of Selected Furniture, talked about the company last night at the council meeting.
“My family started manufacturing commercial grade furniture in 1952,” said Shelef. “In the early 1970′s, my father opened a factory in China. In 2003, I incorporated Selected Furniture and I came back home and here we are today.”
