Exciting Expansion for Radians in Memphis
Memphis is buzzing with good news as a local manufacturer, Radians, has announced its plans to significantly expand its operations right here in town. Known for producing personal protective equipment (PPE), Radians is set to construct an impressive 110,000 square feet of new space at their headquarters and manufacturing facility located at 6100 Global Drive in South Memphis.
A Big Move Just Half a Mile Away
Currently, Radians operates from a facility just half a mile away at 5305 Distriplex Farms Drive. The decision to expand rather than simply relocate is a strategic move to bring all their manufacturing and printing processes under one roof. This development is not just a logistical dream come true but also marks the largest expansion for Radians in the past ten years!
Commitment to the Memphis Community
Radiansโ CEO, Mike Tutor, expressed his excitement in a recent announcement, stating, โThis headquarters expansion is Radians’ largest in the last ten years. It reaffirms our long-term dedication to the Memphis community.โ Itโs clear that Radians is fully committed to growing in Memphis and making a positive impact on the local economy.
New Features to Enhance Operations
The new facility will encompass air-conditioned manufacturing, ample warehouse, and office space, making it a more comfortable place for Radiansโ dedicated workforce. Tutor further emphasized this point, mentioning, โBy moving manufacturing and printing operations into one facility, the company will enhance operational efficiency, improve production capacity, and support the increasing demand for American-made PPE.โ Well, who wouldnโt want to work in a spacious and air-conditioned environment?
Looking Ahead
According to their plans, Radians aims to complete the moving process into the Global Drive location before the year’s end. Interestingly, the company has decided not to seek tax incentives for this expansion, a move that sets a tone of accountability and transparency.
Boosting Employee Morale
In a statement by Bill England, the president of Radians, he shared insight into how this expansion will not only benefit the company but also its employees: โThe air-conditioned facility and spacious work environment will enhance employee satisfaction, creating a more comfortable and energized work environment.โ It sounds like a win-win situation for everyone involved!
Community Support for Memphis Growth
This new development is part of the larger picture of advancement in Memphis. Local leaders and citizens are encouraged to support initiatives that promise economic growth, positive community impact, and job creation. For instance, the Building Memphis Awards 2025 are now open for nominations. These awards celebrate commercial construction projects that reflect excellence in architecture, design, engineering, and development. Supporting such projects is an excellent way to contribute to the city’s growth narrative.
Final Thoughts
With Radians stepping up its game in Memphis, thereโs plenty of optimism in the air. Itโs refreshing to see a company not only focused on its growth but also on the well-being of its employees and the community. So, as Memphis continues to grow and evolve, we can all look forward to more exciting developments like this one!
