The 80,000-square-foot plant employs 300 local workers and has an annual production capacity of 150,000 square meters of sports wood flooring. It uses sustainable manufacturing practices, including solar power for 60% of energy needs and a water recycling system that reduces waste by 75%. The plant will produce Limei’s full product line, including its popular OceanCycle eco-friendly flooring and SmartSense IoT-enabled floors.
To celebrate the opening, Limei donated 10,000 square meters of flooring to Houston’s public school sports programs, benefiting 25 schools in underserved neighborhoods. The brand also announced a partnership with the NBA’s Houston Rockets to supply flooring for their youth training academy.
“The Houston plant is a strategic investment in our North American growth,” said Mr. Robert Carter, Limei’s North American CEO. “It allows us to better serve our clients with faster delivery and localized support, while our commitment to sustainability aligns with Texas’s focus on green manufacturing.”
The plant’s first major order is supplying flooring for the 2027 Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile, with production set to begin in early 2026.
