BALDWYN – Officials from Southern Motion, a reclining furniture manufacturer, recently announced the company is expanding into Baldwyn, in Prentiss County, where it will manufacture a new line of upholstered recliners.
The company is locating in the 192,500-square-foot building formerly occupied by ForeFront Golf.
The expansion represents a company investment of $3 million and will create 150 new jobs over the next three years. Southern Motion also has manufacturing operations in Pontotoc, where the company employs approximately 915 workers.
The Mississippi Development Authority provided assistance for the project through the Momentum Mississippi Incentives program for modifications to the building in which Southern Motion will be located. Also, the Appalachian Regional Commission and Prentiss County provided assistance for infrastructure improvements at the site, and the City of Baldwyn donated land to be used for truck access.
Founded in 1996 in Pontotoc by Guy Lipscomb and Larry Todd, Southern Motion manufactures motion furniture including recliners, sofas and loveseats, sectionals and home theater furniture.
