Governor of US state Georgia Brian P Kemp recently announced that Purple Innovation, a comfort technology company known for its mattresses, pillows and seat cushions, will expand its operations in McDonough and create an additional 500 jobs across production, fulfillment, customer care and other areas. Once the expansion is complete, the company will employ more than 800 Georgians.

This follows the company’s commitment last year to create more than 360 jobs in the Henry County.

“After recently being admitted to the Georgia Made programme, it's great to see this company already thriving and expanding here in Georgia,” said Kemp in an official statement.

The state’s premier Georgia Made programme was created in 2019 to celebrate the people and industries that manufacture a wide variety of products across the state. Companies accepted into the cost-free program join a roster of distinguished manufacturers that continue to shape Georgia jobs and the global supply chain.

Purple’s cushion products are designed, manufactured and assembled in the United States, and the company is further expanding its manufacturing operations to meet consumer demand.

The expansion of the company’s current facility will be utilized as a customer care centre, slated to open in spring next year.
