In November, the company made $300,000; in December, it made $1.2 million, Fountain said, adding that he hopes the company will be pulling in $3 million a month by March. With the rebound in production, the company has been able to hire 120 employees. As recent as October, the company had just 10 full-time employees, Fountain said.
If the company reaches $80 million in sales by the end of 2010, it can return its work force to 400-plus employees, Fountain said, adding that hiring more workers depends on how the market rebounds.
