02/18/2021
The company will construct a new facility adjacent to their current plant, which is located at 19 Westside Industrial Boulevard.
“We are very pleased to announce the expansion of Integrated Fiber Solutions Rome manufacturing facility. IFS is adding additional capacity to continue to meet the demand of our customers in multiple market segments. The Rome-Floyd community has supported our efforts for many years, and now we have the opportunity to add jobs and opportunities for workers to grow as our business grows,” said IFS Chief Operating Officer Mark Cook. “IFS will be investing over $30 million for an expansion of multiple phases spanning the next five years, with the addition of approximately 40 new jobs over the course of the project.”
Integrated Fiber Solutions was established in 1986 to serve the synthetic yarn needs of multiple carpet and rug industries in Georgia. With locations in Rome, Dalton, and LaFayette, the company employs approximately 600 people in northwest Georgia.
“Integrated Fiber Solutions’ decision to expand in Rome is a testament to the state’s strong pipeline of skilled talent,” said GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson. “Located in the heart of the flooring and synthetic fibers industry, I’m confident Integrated Fiber Solutions will be very pleased with their decision to continue growing their operations in Rome.”
Project Manager Tamara Brock represented the Georgia Department of Economic Development’s (GDEcD) Global Commerce division on this project in partnership with the Rome-Floyd County Development Authority and Georgia Power.
“It is always exciting to hear about and support an expansion of one of our existing industries. Integrated Fibers has been a strong employer over the years, and I expect that they will continue to grow with the increased construction demand we are seeing now. Our Authority and community are glad they chose to invest here once again,” said Jimmy Byars, chairman of the Rome-Floyd County Development Authority.
