TUPELO, Miss. \u00e2\u20ac\u201d Promotional upholstery producer Affordable Furniture is adding three production lines to its factory here.
\n\t\t
\nOne line is for recliners, and another for stationary upholstery. A third line, also for stationary, is set for October, which will bring the total to 11 production lines for the three-year-old company.<\/p>\n
The expansion will allow Affordable to add $10 million to $20 million in annual sales to its current $50 million, said CEO Jim Sneed. The company now employs 225 workers and expects to add 30 to 50 people for the new lines, he said.<\/p>\n
The company has expanded its factory a couple of times, and moved to its present 600,000-square-foot plant last November.<\/p>\n
Affordable makes sofas at $299 and $399 retail in limited styles and covers.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the company has hired R. Wilson Ellis as its sales representative for east Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama and the two Carolinas.<\/p>\n
Most recently he was an independent rep, and previously repped for American Furniture, Culp Inc. and Leggett & Platt. Earlier, Ellis was president of Culp of Tennessee in Cleveland, Tenn.; vice president of sales for Culp of Mississippi in Tupelo; and regional sales manager at Super Sagless Corp. in Tupelo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
