By Home Furnishings Business in on February 2006 Contemporary import specialist Global Furniture is moving into a new, 150,000-square-foot headquarters and warehouse in New Jersey to better accommodate growing sales.

The company's move from a 65,000-square-foot facility in Edison, N.J., to the new location in East Brunswick, N.J., will be completed by the end of February. Alex Rubinshteyn, managing director for the company, said the expanded warehouse will give the company the ability to provide its independent retail customers with immediate access to contemporary furniture.

"Although Global Furniture is known for its container shipments, our by-the-piece sales to independent retailers are growing significantly," Rubinshteyn said. "Our decision to expand our headquarters was made primarily to accommodate sales to our independent customers in the region, as well as to enlarger our international headquarters operation."

In other moves, the company has completed renovation of its new, 10,000-square-foot showroom in High Point at 118 W. Commerce St. The company will celebrate the opening during the April market.

"In spite of a challenging year for the industry, our business has enjoyed double-digit growth," Rubinshteyn said. "We made the decision to expand so we could have a place to showcase many more new products, as well as to accommodate a significant increase in retail traffic."
