Phoenix USA, Inc. ISO Certification: |
The Beginning (1960)Phoenix USA, Inc. began as Cherokee Furniture Manufacturing Company in 1960 and operated for nearly a quarter century in the quiet country setting of Cookeville, Tennessee. Cherokee Furniture operated a fleet of 15 trailers and eight power rig units and equipped them with “hot-forged” aluminum wheels that were bought direct from Alcoa. This relationship with Alcoa, along with a strong interest and valuable experience in the transportation industry, led to the creation of Phoenix USA. |
An Era’s Ending…Offers New Beginning (1984)Cherokee Furniture closes in 1984 after a devastating fire completely destroys the facility. Although tragic, often an ending is opportunity for a new beginning. Rising from the ashes...a new company is introduced... Phoenix USA, Inc. |
Rising From The Ashes...An All New Phoenix USA, Inc. (1985)Phoenix USA, Inc. is appropriately named, referencing the legendary bird that arose from the flames to live again. The phoenix bird symbolizes immortality, resurrection and life after death. According to the Greeks, the bird lives in Arabia, near a cool well. Every morning at dawn, the sun god would stop his chariot to listen to the bird sing a beautiful song while it bathed in the well. Only one phoenix exists at a time. When the bird felt its death was near, every 500 years, it would build a nest of aromatic wood and set it on fire. The bird then was consumed by the flames, Next, a new phoenix sprang forth from the ashes to live yet another period. |
