Armstrong Flooring Files for Bankruptcy as Higher Costs Outpace Ability to Raise Prices
Armstrong Flooring Inc., a publicly traded manufacturer founded in 1860, has filed for bankruptcy, saying it couldn’t raise prices enough to counter supply-chain disruptions and higher costs for materials and transportation.
The Lancaster, Pa.-based company, along with subsidiaries AFI Licensing LLC, Armstrong Flooring Latin America Inc. and Armstrong Flooring Canada Ltd., filed for chapter 11 protection Sunday in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Wilmington, Del. In November, Armstrong warned about whether it could continue as a going concern long-term, and earlier this month said it was seeking a buyer and would likely seek bankruptcy protection.
