Home furnishings specialty transporter Furniture Transport Group has closed its Houston, Miss., facility and opened a larger terminal based in Pontotoc, Miss.

Steven Lusty, president and chief executive officer of FTG, said the new location positions FTG closer to Tupelo and the hub of furniture manufacturers based in the area. At 68,000 square feet in size, the new terminal is 28,000 square feet larger than the previous facility.

"The additional space will now enable us to offer warehousing in Mississippi, a service we were not able to provide in the smaller facility," Lusty said. "As always, providing exceptional customer service is our utmost priority. We are pleased to report that we retained all of our employees in the move to Pontotoc, so our customers can expect the transition to this terminal to be seamless."

Based in High Point, Furniture Transport Group is the largest specialty transporter of home furnishings in the United States.
