This week, Furniture/Today broke news about DeCoro's plans to resume leather upholstery production for the first time since 2009. The news was as interesting for the planned plant location as anything else. It is located in Cambodia and eventually is expected to employ 1,000.
The company reportedly chose Cambodia based on its labor costs - said to be cheaper than in China, Vietnam and Indonesia. Another factor was an available and intelligent work force willing to learn how to make leather upholstery.
