US bedding products firm, Tempur Sealy, has selected Crawfordsville, Indiana for its third domestic foam-pouring plant. The state-of-the-art plant is expected to be the largest Tempur Sealy manufacturing facility in the world and will be located in Indiana. The construction on the 130-acre site is expected to begin by the third quarter of 2021.
The new facility’s location in the Midwest complements the company’s existing manufacturing footprint and is expected to enhance the company’s ability to service its Northeast customers. The first phase is planned for approximately 700,000 square feet, with the ability to double its capacity over time and to expand to a final size of approximately one million square feet in the future, which would make it Tempur Sealy’s largest manufacturing facility in the world. Production is expected to begin in 2023, and Tempur Sealy plans to hire approximately 300 local employees to staff the facility. Construction will be funded from operating cash flow, the company said in a press release.US bedding products firm, Tempur Sealy, has selected Crawfordsville, Indiana for its third domestic foam-pouring plant.
