Mattress maker Tempur-Pedic International has announced it will add 100 jobs to its factory in Albuquerque, NM.

About half of the new employees will be hired in early 2012. The company is filling management, engineering, administrative and warehouse positions.

The company shared the workforce expansion news Dec. 8 during the Albuquerque Economic Development's quarterly luncheon. In 2007 Tempur-Pedic completed construction of its 800,000-sq.-ft. plant-the world's largest mattress factory-on the city's West side.
