Exxel Outdoors announced plans to move its national warehouse and distribution center from Reno, NV, to Tupelo, MS. The move will bring it closer to its sleeping bag manufacturing plant in Haleyville, AL, and customers.
According to a media release by the Chamber of Commerce for Tupelo, the relocation represents a corporate investment of over $2 million and will create at least 40 jobs.
The new facility will operate from an existing 175,000-square-foot building.
“The Mississippi Development Authority and Lee County have provided us with an absolutely stellar experience in bringing our new Tupelo distribution operation to fruition. We look forward to becoming part of Tupelo’s amazing community, with its business-positive leadership and welcoming environment,” said Harry Kazazian, Chairman and CEO of Exxel Outdoors.
The Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) is assisting the company with the Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive (MFLEX) program, and Lee County is helping with the project.
Exxel Outdoors’ brands include Kelty, Kelty Tactical, Ultimate Direction, Sierra Designs, Hex, Slumberjack, Wenzel, SJK, and X2O.
