A sleepwear and clothing manufacturer has announced plans to add up to 40 jobs in Cullman County this year.
Performance Health Care Products, of Tennessee, is looking for a larger facility to expand its Cullman manufacturing operation. Once a new location is found, the company plans to add up to 30 manufacturing jobs, and approximately 10 sales positions.
Founder and CEO Kirby Best said more room is needed because the company has outgrown it’s current 5,500-square-foot space. After a year at the current site, more manpower is now needed to accommodate an upcoming product launch: A new line of medical scrubs.
“We’re looking to double or triple our space,” Best said. “We want to get into a larger building as soon as possible and we are actively searching for a location.”
Performance currently employs 10 people, though Best said he would like to see that number climb to around 50 this year.
“We’re trying to get bigger,” he said. “We still consider ourselves as kind of a start-up, but that’s our goal.”
