Bedding supplier Symbol Mattress has acquired the license to make and market Englander-branded goods in the New York/New England region.
The license includes the states of Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New York, Rhode Island and Vermont and was effective last month. Symbol Mattress, based in Richmond, Va., is now shipping Englander products from its manufacturing facilities in Richmond and Reading, Pa.
“We’re extremely pleased about the continued expansion of Englander bedding across the country,” said Kevin Toman, Englander president and CEO. “With a total of 12 factory locations, we now have coast-to-coast distribution of our products. I anticipate that we’ll add more factories and additional licensee partners before the end of 2016. We also plan to maintain our growth pace overseas.”
Englander products are currently manufactured at licensed factories in Chicago, Pico Rivera, Calif. and Tualatin, Ore.; at Symbol-owned facilities in Jasper, Ala., Olive Branch, Miss., Orlando, Reading, Pa., Richmond, Va. and Watertown, Wisc., and at Southerland-owned plants in Nashville, Oklahoma City and Phoenix.
The company also licenses 19 international locations.
