Mercer company makes wood for basketball courts worldwide

MERCER - When you watch a basketball game being played on a hardwood floor, there's a good chance that wood came from the Northwoods.

A plant in Mercer turns maple lumber into basketball courts. The people who work at Action Floor Systems can see their product on basketball's biggest stages.

"We've got the Bucks floor in Milwaukee," Plant Manager Carl Anderson said. "I can turn the TV on, I can watch them playing on my floor, a floor I had something to do with. The people here at the plant take a lot of pride in their work."
