Wisconsin-based Down Home Manufacturing is investing $2.4 million in a new facility in Greenwood that is expected to create 50 jobs, according to the Greenwood Partnership Alliance.

The textile company’s new facility will fill down, down alternative and feather pillows and comforters for retail clients in the U.S. and Canada. In addition, the facility will distribute these products as well as a range of imported finished products including blankets, sheets and fashion bedding ensembles to retail clients in the U.S., according to a news release.

“Down Home Manufacturing is excited to open our plant for business in Greenwood, and we look forward to growing with the community and adding quality jobs to the city,” said Rod Ghormley, Down Home president, in the release. “This is an important strategic move for our company. This allows us to serve our customers better and improve our ability to grow our business here in the USA.  We look forward to working with the community leaders as we become part of the Greenwood business community.”

The new facility will be at 402 Maxwell Ave. in Greenwood.

“As a member of the Greenwood Partnership Alliance, we are excited to welcome Down Home Manufacturing to the city of Greenwood and look forward to having them join our community,” said Greenwood Mayor Welborn Adams, in the release. “We are strengthened by the capital investment and increase in opportunities for quality new jobs that a project like this brings to the city.”
