Get to know ARMSTRONG FLOORING and how their
inspired flooring designs helped to get our new
building off on the right foot.
You know their work. Just look down. You'll see it in the
perfectly balanced strong and soft visuals of the luxury vinyl
tile in our office lobby, warmly greeting visitors as they enter
our building. You'll see it in the durable, hardworking floors
of our staff cafe, providing an inviting space for thoughtful
conversation. You'll see it in the classic color and design
coordination underfoot in our Business Center, where local
professionals can innovate and collaborate together. That's
Armstrong Flooring - a company dedicated to its mission of
developing products with the power to positively impact the
spaces where people live, work, learn, heal and play. Based
in Lancaster, it's the #1 manufacturer of resilient and wood
flooring products across North America. And while the
floors are unmistakably beautiful, we're also quite taken with
our designer's creative use of Armstrong Flooring's product
as the rustic street number wall art behind our
reception desk.
"Our commitment to Lancaster County spans more
than a century. That's why we're so proud to be
involved in community efforts that make this area
so special, like the state-of-the-art new home
of the Lancaster Chamber. Armstrong Flooring is known
worldwide for inspired flooring designs, but it's what's in our
own backyard that continues to inspire us: our employees,
our customers and this wonderfully unique Lancaster County
community we love to call home." - Alison van Harskamp,
Corporate Communications, Armstrong Flooring

Get to know RICK WELDING and discover how they
transformed the way our floors were connected with
artistic and modern craftsmanship.
Nestled in a small shop in New Holland is a budding metals
and structural steel fabricator that is reinventing itself and
working to make a lasting mark in the community.
Rick Welding traces its roots back to Carvell and Rick
Welding/Fab-Rick Industries in the Brownstown/Ephrata
area. When Fab-Rick Industries closed and Joe Rick, Sr.
passed away in 2013, Joseph Rick II decided to carry on the
family name, opening Rick Welding with his wife Angela.
Joseph and his team have reinvented themselves and
continue to strive to improve on the past as well as serve
owners and customers alike.
"As far as the Lancaster Chamber job it was a
privilege to work with Warfel as well as Dale
Shenk on another successful project. We consider
it an honor to work on a high profile job with the
structural steel and stairs in the Lancaster Chamber building.
We started the fabrication and erection of the structural
steel back in August. For the stairs, we started fabrication in
November, the rest in December and finished installation in
January. We really hope everyone is happy with the atrium
stairs." - the Rick Welding Team
