Soft-Tex International’s new 165,000-square-foot factory in Sugar Land, Texas, gives the company 750,000 square feet across the three locations.
WATERFORD, N.Y.—Soft-Tex International is celebrating the grand opening of its new 170,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Sugar Land, Texas.
The new facility is an indicator of the company’s growing domestic footprint and its commitment to shift volume back to domestic or near-shore supply chains, the company said in a release.
“Soft-Tex has now surpassed our stated reshoring goal of 20% annually for two years in a row,” said CEO Mark Smiderle. “In 2020, we doubled production at our Waterford, N.Y., facility, and now with the opening of Soft-Tex Sugar Land we have more than quadrupled our total production capacity from 2019 levels.”
The Sugar Land facility runs warehousing and distribution operations with three-day or better ground service coverage to retail warehouses and direct-to-consumer shipments. The facility will add 150 jobs throughout 2021, across manufacturing, sales and marketing roles.
Soft-Tex will open two additional U.S.-based facilities in 2022 to further scale domestic production, using the Sugar Land facility as a model.
