Southern Motion, a motion upholstery producer will soon begin work on an expansion of it’s Pontotoc, Mississippi plant. The new expansion will feature 180,000 square feet and is expected to add around 200 new jobs over the next two years. The new project will make a total of 680,000 square feet that includes a production area, warehouse and office space.

“We are excited about our new expansion, which is a tribute to the dedication and hard work of the entire Southern Motion family,” said Roger Bland, Southern Motion president. “We have been very fortunate to grow our business in Mississippi, and our latest expansion will allow us to continue our commitment to manufacturing quality, American-made motion furniture.”

The company worked with the Mississippi Development Authority to complete plans for the expansion. The Development Authority is even providing funds for public infrastructure improvements. This is the company’s third plant expansion in the past two years. Earlier this year, new production lines added 70 more jobs and a similar project last year added 65 jobs.
