According to Bruce Mansfield, general manager, this commitment will be evident immediately. "Customer service will be a cornerstone of our new philosophy," Mansfield said.

In addition to a reorganization of the 75,000-square-foot manufacturing facility and an increase in production capabilities, other changes include the creation of new staff positions and development of new marketing materials. Through its dealer network, Thunderbird Furniture L.L.C. posted sales in excess of $5.5 million in 1999 and expects an increase to $8 million in the upcoming year.
