Daniels: Company is still coming to Lamar

Evan R. Daniels, CEO of Polymer-Wood Technologies, the company that has said it will bring 475 jobs to Lamar, says he still intends to set up shop here, despite a decision by O'Sullivan Industries to call of a sale of its old plant to a California firm:

Despite the severed deal on the building, Evan Daniels, president and chief executive officer of Polymer-Wood, insisted Friday that he remains committed to establishing a door-manufacturing operation in Lamar, but he would not say how or when.

“We are planning to come to Lamar, we have always wanted to come to Lamar,” Daniels said by phone Friday. “We love this community.”

He said he was confident that the end of the plant deal would not keep his company from making a move to Lamar, that another way would be found.

He would not comment Friday on the O’Sullivan-SEA lawsuit
