06/18/2021
The newly formed “Edelbrock Group” will create and transition 80 headquarters positions and 120 manufacturing and support positions. The company also will maintain warehousing and distribution operations at the Olive Branch location, retaining 90 existing jobs.
“Edelbrock and our family of brands are iconic innovators in the performance automotive aftermarket, and we are excited to call north Mississippi home for the next chapter of our company’s 83-year history. Olive Branch and DeSoto County offer everything that we value in a location, and we are excited to become an active and valued member of the local community” Tim Jones, Edelbrock President and CEO said.
Mississippi Development Authority is providing assistance for building improvements as an incentive. The city of Olive Branch, DeSoto County and the Tennessee Valley Authority also are assisting with the project.
“The state of Mississippi is proud to welcome Edelbrock to DeSoto County, our state’s manufacturing workforce is second-to-none, and I know they will be very successful here. Thank you to the great folks at Edelbrock for entrusting Mississippi with producing the quality automotive parts for which they are known,” Governor Tate Reeves said.
Edelbrock’s core products include automotive performance upgrades such as superchargers, intake manifolds, carburetors, electronic fuel injection systems, cylinder heads, crate engines, valve train components and more.
“Mississippi is a strong manufacturing state with a prominent presence in the automotive industry, and Edelbrock’s decision to relocate its corporate headquarters from southern California and create new jobs in northwest Mississippi highlights our great state as a top destination for companies in the automotive sector. Along with the great popularity of the automotive performance industry in the Mid-South, Mississippi’s fantastic business climate, highly skilled workforce and strategic logistical competitiveness make our state the perfect home for Edelbrock, perhaps the most legendary name in the world of automotive performance. MDA is grateful for the teams at the DeSoto County Economic Development Council, the city of Olive Branch, the DeSoto County Board of Supervisors and the Tennessee Valley Authority, which were instrumental in bringing this exciting project full-circle,” MDA Executive Director John Rounsaville noted.
