Wright of Thomasville, announced that its Showroom Solutions™ division had started in-house manufacturing of top-of-bed branding items such as shams, foot protectors and embroidered labels. Manufacturing is taking place at its Thomasville complex and 12 additional employees have been hired.
For the past 10 years, Wright has used a local manufacturer for these products. Wright’s new division will bring in-house much of the manufacturing for these products.
“The bedding industry has become one of the most dynamic segments in the home furnishing industry and we felt that using our own people and equipment to handle these assignments would assure our customers the continued quality, service and value they have come to expect from Wright for the past 50 years,” said Wright President and CEO Greg Wright. “Because of changes in the industry, one of the most compelling challenges we wanted to address in the supply chain was the shorter turns many of our clients require today. We can better meet those challenges by having a captive unit only dedicated to the needs of our clients.”
Wright said its clients, among the biggest names in the mattress industry, were recently informed of the move and have welcomed it.
“The reaction has been wonderful and very supportive of the move. They are excited to see the service improvements we can deliver immediately, as well as welcoming the new opportunities this enterprise will deliver to them in the future,” he added. “In particular, it will now be easier for clients to get a quick turnaround on product and smaller runs if that is their requirement.”
