The parent company of mattress manufacturer Mlily USA, China-based Healthcare Co. Ltd., has signed a lease for a second Arizona production facility, located in Glendale. The current building is 570,000 square feet, but the company plans to add an additional 684,000 square feet in a second phase of construction, bringing the total to 1.25 million square feet.
When completed, the plant will employ more than 500 and will increase the company’s manufacturing footprint in Arizona to nearly 2 million, combined with its first factory located in Goodyear. Marking Healthcare’s fourth facility in the U.S., the company’s total domestic manufacturing footprint now reaches nearly 3 million square feet.
“Our sales growth in the U.S. has been nothing short of dramatic, and our goal is to double our revenues domestically in each of the next three years,” said Stephen Chen, president of Mlily USA. “It is also our goal to supply all of our U.S. customers through our domestic facilities. The second Arizona plant will enable us to enhance our service to our U.S. customers, especially those in the western region.”
The new plant is located at 6605 N. Sarival Ave. The factory will manufacture Mlily’s mattresses, chiefly hybrids. It will also have space for warehousing.
Mlily opened its first Arizona facility in December of last year in Goodyear. It produces the company’s full line of mattresses and mattress toppers, along with springs and proprietary memory foams used in its mattresses. The new Glendale facility is slated to be fully operational within six months.
