Remington Industries Reshores U.S.A. Manufacturing

Introduces new line of Made in the USA Michelin and Roadwear floor mats

at 2015 APPEX Show, Booth #4238

 

CHATTANOOGA, Tennessee, November 1, 2015 RemsourceUSA, an affiliated company of Remington Industries, Inc., one of the world's most innovative automotive accessory companies, has purchased a new  $4 million, 63,000 square foot, plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee.  The plant will manufacture injection molded plastic products. The products will be marketed under the Roadwear, Michelin, Rubbermaid and private label brands and will be sold to retailers throughout North America and world-wide

"Chattanooga, Tennessee offers excellent infrastructure, a competent workforce and a strategic location that allows us to be the envy of our competition offering products made in the U.S.A," said Tim Parkes, Chairman and CEO of Remington Industries. "For the North American market, Chattanooga is also the ultimate logistical location to optimally support our customers' ever-changing needs."

Many of Remington’s customers and their customers prefer to purchase products made in the U.S.  Other benefits for their direct customers include reduced order lead times, less on-hand inventory, lower freight costs and no concern about off-shore orders delays and currency fluctuations.

Based in the Chattanooga and Southeast Tennessee area for nearly 35 years, the Remington Group oversees five major brands and three operating companies as a global consumer products operation with distribution in more than 17 countries.

“We will continue to invest in U.S. manufacturing and commit to provide our customers and partners products to be proud of while exceeding expectations of what a U.S. manufacturer stands for; innovation and high quality standards” continued Parkes.  “We bring together American ingenuity drawing on our deep knowledge of over 30 years of design and development in the automotive accessories industry.  Our unique solutions are created to comprehensively address the driver’s needs.”
