Sleep to Live®, a division of Kingsdown, Inc., announced that it is opening a new manufacturing plant in Stockton, Calif. Currently, the company operates five domestic and two international manufacturing facilities.

The 50,000-square-foot facility is scheduled to open mid-October and will service Sleep to Live’s expanding customer base on the west coast. Sleep to Live anticipates having the site fully operational by the end of November 2010. The plant will have all capabilities available at its current facilities such as framing, quilting, product testing, as well as the shipping of Sleep to Live products.

“The new Sleep to Live facility in Stockton helps us provide even faster service and fulfillment for our growing brands on the west coast,” said Eric Hinshaw, chairman and CEO. “Through this distribution hub, we can deliver our high quality, personalized Sleep to Live products to more retailers in a region where we are expanding our presence and responding to consumer demand.”

The company expects to employ between 30 and 35 full-time staff at the new facility.
“Our Stockton manufacturing center will support the increase in orders we receive from our partners in western states, including California,” said John Farnham, vice president of manufacturing for Sleep to Live. “As Sleep to Live continues to build its partnerships on the west coast, we stand poised to supply orders even more promptly.”
The Sleep to Live manufacturing plant is located at 1631 Industrial Drive in Stockton, Calif.
