Wright of Thomasville, a supplier of marketing services and support, has begun manufacturing top-of-bed branding items, such as pillow shams, foot protectors and embroidered labels.
Production is being done at the company’s headquarters plant in Thomasville, N.C., through its Showroom Solutions division. As part of the expansion, the company has hired 12 additional employees.
For the past 10 years, Wright had used an outside manufacturer for the products. Among other things, in–house production will allow Wright to offer customers quicker turnaround and the ability to manufacture smaller runs of product.
“The bedding industry has become one of the most dynamic segments in the home furnishings 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 Greg Wright, Wright of Thomasville president and chief executive officer. “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 dedicated to the needs of our clients.”
