ATLANTA, Aug. 4, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Purple Innovation,
Inc. (NASDAQ: PRPL) ("Purple"), a leader in comfort innovation and
the creator of the renowned Purple® Mattress, today celebrates the
official grand opening of its newest manufacturing facility in
Henry County, located just 27
miles south from Atlanta. Local
officials joined Purple executives for a ribbon cutting ceremony to
commemorate the occasion.
"Georgia has been our second
home since we chose the state to build our largest manufacturing
facility. We're thrilled to mark this occasion today and celebrate
the success we've accomplished thus far in already bringing more
than 400 jobs to Georgia," stated
Purple CEO, Joe Megibow. "The
important work of delivering our unique comfort benefits to our
customers continues and we're excited to keep growing and building
our capacity here in this facility."
Purple's ribbon cutting comes on the heels of the company's
recent joint announcement with the State
of Georgia to expand operations in the area and add more
than 500 new jobs over the next two years. This expansion will also
include a customer care center, slated to open in the spring of
2022. The addition will also allow for increased production
capacity with the company adding more Mattress Max™ Machines,
Purple's proprietary production manufacturing equipment.
"It's an honor to celebrate Purple's growth and the hundreds of
jobs they are creating for the hardworking Georgians of
Henry County," stated Georgia Governor Brian
P. Kemp. "I look forward to seeing the state continue to
play a key part in this Georgia Made company's success story."
The company today also announced its commitment to give back to
the local community, as part of its mission of giving comfort to
every body. Purple donated comfort items such as pillows, bedding
and Purple Squishies to Haven House, a local nonprofit on a mission
to provide a safe home for survivors of domestic abuse.
Katie Tucker, Executive Director of
Haven House, was present to accept the donation, alongside
representatives from the Precious Dreams Foundation, who partnered
with Purple to provide comfort bags for the children and youth at
the shelter. In addition, Purple donated more than 100 emergency
beds to Central Night Shelter in downtown Atlanta in coordination with Relief Bed
International. These beds were specifically made by Purple to
provide relief to those experiencing homelessness.
Purple's mission is to help people feel better through
innovative comfort products like mattresses, pillows, and seat
cushions. Purple's cushion products are designed, manufactured, and
assembled in the U.S. Through the addition of its new McDonough facility the company will further
expand its manufacturing operations to meet consumer demand.
