Foam Products Opens IXPE Manufacturing Facility in Georgia

Trion, GA, August 27, 2024-Georgia-based Foam Products Corp (FPC) is set to open its new IXPE manufacturing facility by the end of Q3 2024.

The $15 million-dollar, 100,000 square foot facility is located in Trion, Georgia. FPC President, Erik Arnold states “This plant’s location is near the heart of the existing U.S. flooring manufacturing corridor and will enhance our ability to quickly service the needs for pad attached foams to the ‘Made in America’ flooring market.”

The facility sits on approximately 20 acres of land in Trion and will specialize in flooring products and components but will also have capabilities to service automotive, medical, and industrial tape product demands. The company said it will have room for further expansion, up to 300,000 square feet.

This now allows manufacturers to eliminate the logistic difficulties, time issues, and carrying costs currently associated with importing products from Asia.

FPC plans to create about 100 new jobs by the end of 2025.

The state of Georgia offered the company incentives for the project, as well as resources to the local community to support infrastructure improvements.
