The decision was driven by several logistics; Georgia offered a similar climate to South Korea — where the original plants were located — and proximity to major ports on the East Coast and transportation corridors, especially through and from the major metropolitan area of Atlanta. That part of Georgia is also considered the ‘carpet capital’ of America, so there was already a skilled workforce used to working with chemicals and similar manufacturing line processes as HIMACS. Today, LX Hausys operates five U.S. manufacturing plants, all in Adairsville: one HIMACS solid surface plant, three VIATERA quartz plants, and one plant for automotive interior materials, which supplies products to major car manufacturers. Notably, LX Hausys is the only manufacturer in the U.S. with a plant that produces both solid surface and quartz in the same location — a strategic advantage that enhances efficiency and allows for faster, more coordinated production across product lines. HIMACS manufacturing also offers outstanding color-matching capabilities. LX Hausys can match quartz, concrete, virtually any Pantone color, acrylic chip, or even create a fully custom hue — often with remarkably short turnaround times. This flexibility and speed in delivering on-color design needs adds another layer of reliability for fabricators and designers.

Near these manufacturing plants is LX Hausys’ multi-million-dollar Central Distribution Center, built on 512,000 square feet of property in 2021. This space consolidates LX Hausys’ previous distribution services of three separate buildings into one unified facility, and it serves 14 regional warehouses throughout the U.S. and two regional warehouses in Canada. There is also additional space to accommodate LX Hausys’ long-term strategic growth plan. Meanwhile a 10,000-sq.-ft. showroom contains 40 full-size slabs of VIATERA and HIMACS colors — virtually the entire color palette of both brands. The office area contains product samples, literature, and other resources, and it is designed to host product training, customer meetings, and other events.

In North America, several of LX Hausys' operations have been pivotal in reducing environmental impact. The corporation mplemented several initiatives aimed at increasing the use of recycled materials and minimizing waste at its manufacturing facilities. Notably, a PVC recycling program exemplifies efforts to advance a more sustainable materials economy. The corporation was also named an Industry Mover in S&P Global's 2024 Corporate Sustainability Assessment, reflecting its consistent efforts in reducing carbon emissions and obtaining international environmental sustainability certifications.

minds behind these designs conduct customer surveys and travel to design shows globally, meeting with fabricators, architects and designers to gain insights about what colors, patterns and designs will resonate with the American consumer. With more than 59 international design awards, LX Hausys’ commitment to thoughtful, trend-driven design is evident. Collaborations at the corporate level with icons like Karim Rashid and Vera Wang have helped shape stunning and on-trend surface collections that merge form and function for the U.S. market.

tied to overseas imports. Consumers benefit from faster lead times, competitive pricing, and the reassurance of a steady, reliable supply. For homeowners, fabricators, designers, and builders, the new tariff landscape has underscored the importance of sourcing locally. LX Hausys America makes that choice easy, offering premium surface materials and an unwavering commitment to innovation, service, and sustainability. “Our mission is to create coordinated solutions across the home,” says Morici. “Whether it's countertops, floors, or wall panels, our goal is to provide designers and builders with beautifully integrated materials — backed by the strength of a trusted global brand and the reliability of domestic manufacturing.”
