Mount Vernon to expand its production capacity

26/07/2019
US flame resistant fabric specialist Mount Vernon has announced plans to expand the production operations at its facility in Trion, Georgia. It has said the expansion will increase its finished fabric production capacity by 20%.

“This is an exciting time for Mount Vernon FR, but our rapid growth has presented challenges with space to accommodate the equipment required to manufacture an ever-expanding range of flame resistant products,” said Mike Woods, vice president of flame resistant products for Mount Vernon. “This additional square footage will allow us to better serve current and future customer demand.”

The expansion project at the facility in Trion is expected to be completed in the third quarter of this year. Operations would begin shortly after, the company said.
