AHF Products releases first sustainability report

Mountville, Pa.—AHF Products has released its first sustainability report, marking a milestone in the company’s efforts toward transparency, accountability and environmental progress.

The report outlines AHF’s sustainability framework across four core pillars: circular economy, climate and ecosystem health, human health and social health and well-being. It also highlights the advantages of U.S.-based manufacturing for environmental responsibility, supply chain efficiency and long-term customer value.

“U.S.-based manufacturing gives us a unique ability to respond quickly to customer needs, control material sourcing and ensure consistency in quality and sustainability,” said Brent Emore, CEO of AHF Products. “Producing locally from renewable or abundant resources to create durable floors that last generations reduces landfill waste and offers a smart, sustainable choice for consumers and designers. It’s common sense that producing materials that last generations is good for everyone.”

AHF is one of the few U.S.-based hard surface flooring manufacturers with 10 domestic manufacturing facilities. The company produces most of its porcelain, hardwood and VCT products from locally sourced and abundant materials. These product lines deliver exceptional durability, reduce replacement cycles and conserve resources over time.

The brochure includes highlights from AHF’s first formal sustainability report, aligned with SASB frameworks and covering fiscal year 2024–25. It affirms the company’s dedication to continuous improvement in environmental transparency and responsible manufacturing practices.

Notable milestones include:

• First carbon neutral Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) for porcelain (Crossville)

• Expanded documentation for all commercial wood, resilient and porcelain products

• Expansion of densified hardwood product line

• Continued investment in energy-efficient infrastructure and material circularity

“Our work at AHF is guided by a clear understanding that the choices we make today shape the world we build tomorrow,” said Noah Chitty, vice president of sustainability and technical services at AHF. “From investing in energy-efficient infrastructure to expanding disclosure programs and incorporating recycled materials into our products, we’re focused on making sustainability real—measurable, transparent and part of every surface we manufacture.”

Made in the USA, sold in the USA

AHF’s U.S.-based manufacturing model supports domestic jobs, reduces transportation-related emissions and ensures a high degree of product transparency and quality control.
