Tilsatec North America Establishes Manufacturing-Distribution Facilities In Eupora, Mississippi
12/09/2015
For the project, Tilsatec is leasing two facilities from the city of Eupora, one formerly occupied by Ansell Hawkeye and the other formerly occupied by Roseburg Forest Products. Tilsatec’s Eupora manufacturing operations are its first in North America.
“A rich history of manufacturing exists in Eupora with a highly skilled workforce, great logistics hub, and prime facilities for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) manufacturing,” said Tilsatec North American President Jeremy Whitham. “Tilsatec will challenge the skilled sewing personnel to develop and launch numerous new PPE products, as well as produce a variety of previously imported gloves utilizing Tilsatec’s proprietary yarns and materials. This expansion will create jobs, simplify logistics, and ultimately reduce timelines to meet customer demands for our specialty products.”
Mississippi Development Authority provided guidance on available tax incentives and workforce training programs in support of the project,.
“We salute the leadership of the city of Eupora and The Enterprise for working to bring Tilsatec’s first North American manufacturing operations to our state, creating new career opportunities for Mississippians in Eupora and Webster County,” said MDA Executive Director Glenn McCullough. “The company’s new locations, coupled with the region’s productive workforce, positions the company for many successful years in Webster County.”
“I appreciate the team at Tilsatec for looking to Mississippi as the location of its first North American manufacturing facility and for realizing the numerous advantages Mississippi offers companies with distribution needs,” Governor Phil Bryant said. “These new jobs will positively impact the local economy and community for years to come, and I wish the company many years of success in Eupora.”
