\u00e2\u20ac\u0153As economic conditions change, so must all successful businesses and Bush Industries is no exception.

This is an extension of our long range strategy to align our manufacturing capabilities with the global demands of the market place.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said James L. Sherbert, President and CEO of Bush Industries. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Our Global Sourcing Group is an integral part of Bush\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s product leadership. Our goal is to create innovative products at the best possible value to meet the expressed needs of the marketplace. We have our fully functioning Global Sourcing office in place, complete with design, engineering, quality control and scheduling, which will allow this transition to go smoothly. Additionally, it is important to note that all manufacturing capabilities that differentiate Bush remain intact.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
