Exxel Outdoors Plans Tupelo, Mississippi, Warehouse-Distribution Operations

10/03/2024
Exxel Outdoors, a company that creates high-quality products for outdoor recreation, commercial uses and the U.S. military, plans to relocate and establish warehousing and distribution operations in Tupelo, Mississippi. The more than $2 million project is expected to create 40 jobs.

The new facility will position the company closer to the majority of its customers.

“The Mississippi Development Authority and Lee County have provided us with an absolutely stellar experience in bringing our new Tupelo distribution operation to fruition. We look forward to becoming part of Tupelo’s amazing community, with its business-positive leadership and welcoming environment,” said Harry Kazazian, Chairman and CEO, Exxel Outdoors.

To support the project the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) is providing assistance through the Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive, or MFLEX, program. Lee County is also providing assistance.

“Exxel Outdoors is a recognized, well-respected leader in the outdoor recreation industry. As the newest business partner to the state of Mississippi, Exxel further diversifies the ever-growing portfolio of industry leaders that call Mississippi home. I’m certain Exxel’s prime location in Lee County, with convenient access to key transportation networks, will help ensure the company enjoys many years of success in Mississippi,” MDA Executive Director Bill Cork noted.

Exxel Outdoors’ portfolio includes brands with offerings in various sectors, including outdoor recreation, military, airbeds and urban travel. Its brands include Kelty, Kelty Tactical, Ultimate Direction, Sierra Designs, Hex, Slumberjack, Wenzel, SJK and X2O.
