ELK Group International Plans Distribution Hub In Sylvania, Georgia
02/13/2017
The company will upgrade an existing 400,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Sylvania for their new operations. This facility will create new employment opportunities over the next three years to include positions in office and warehouse operations. The Sylvania distribution center will be ELK’s seventh U.S. location.
“Expanding our distribution network to the Southeast allows us to support current and future growth while enhancing service levels for our customers,” said Todd Webb, COO of ELK Group International. “The management of the Screven County Development Authority and the City of Sylvania were instrumental in the decision process, and we look forward to being an active member of the local community.”
“Georgia is a hub for thriving companies such as ELK Group International, and their decision to open a new facility in Sylvania is a great win for the region,” said GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson. “With access to a skilled workforce and an efficient transportation infrastructure, ELK will find it easy to meet the growing demands of their customers, and expand their business in Sylvania.”
“When we met Mark Fludgate, President, and Todd Webb, with ELK Group International we immediately knew this could be a seamless fit in our community,” said Screven County Development Authority Chairman, Bobby Smith. “The former Sylvania Yarn Systems Building has housed a vital part of our industry mix in Sylvania for decades, prior to being shuttered in 2009. It is great to see it active again and even better to see a vibrant and strong partner joining us in Screven County. I also want to thank the Screven County Board of Commissioners, the City of Sylvania, the Georgia Department of Economic Development, and our other partners for their support of economic development efforts.”
