By Home Furnishings Business in Case Goods on March 2007 Red Egg Resources, an importer of Asian furniture reproductions, announced yesterday that it will shift production of its distinctly Chinese-style lacquer goods to two existing plants in North Carolina.

Red Egg is moving the manufacture of goods previously sourced in Asia to a small plant in Thomasville, N.C., that has specialized in chair production; and a medium-size case goods plant in Lexington, N.C. No other details were available on Red Egg’s new production by press time today.

The company’s new collection for High Point market, Double Happiness, will be produced at the new source plants. Red Egg counts on domestic production for Double Happiness, as well as future collections, to reduce lead times and offer more color options to customers.

In a statement, the company also cited environmental reasons for its move to North Carolina, including reduced energy needs by avoiding transport of goods from Asia.

Red Egg Resources was founded in 1997 as an importer of Chinese antiques and has grown to offer fresh products from around the world following the style direction of owner/designer Carol Gregg. The High Point-based company shows at the New York International Gift Fair and at High Point Market.
