Establishment of a Mattress Production Base with 1.8 Million Units Annually in Georgia, USA
Responding to Rapidly Growing Online Mattress Demand Since COVID-19

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyungsoo Park] Zinus, a mattress and furniture manufacturer, is establishing a mattress production and logistics complex in the United States, the world's largest furniture market.


Zinus announced on the 20th that it will build a factory in Henry County, Georgia, USA, with an annual production capacity of 1.8 million mattresses.


It is expected to meet the rapidly growing demand in overseas markets including the United States. Logistics management and customer service will also be further strengthened. The production-logistics complex in the US is anticipated to be a countermeasure against the increasing online demand and rapid delivery requirements caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.


Zinus's US mattress complex will be established by acquiring land and existing buildings previously owned by offline retailers in the US. Considering the secured land area, additional expansion of production and logistics facilities is also possible.


The complex can immediately utilize its own railway-linked facilities for production and distribution. Zinus plans to start operating production equipment early next year to produce more than 1.8 million mattresses annually.


Georgia State and Henry County have also promised active administrative support along with various incentive packages to ensure Zinus can proceed as planned.


Atlanta, Georgia, where the complex is located, has highways and railroads developed like a spider web, making it one of the key logistics hubs in the central and southern United States. It offers advantages in logistics management targeting the entire US.


A Zinus official said, "By establishing the largest mattress complex center for Zinus in the US market, which accounts for an absolute proportion of our sales, we have reached a turning point." He added, "Based on high-level automated production facilities and a mass production system capable of economies of scale, we will expand transactions to various channels and customers in the US."



Zinus also operates production subsidiaries in China and Indonesia. The Chinese subsidiary supplies mattresses and furniture to regions outside the US, including Canada, Europe, Australia, Japan, and Korea. The Indonesian subsidiary focuses on mattress exports to the US market. With the addition of the US complex center, Zinus can stably supply mattresses to its main market, the US.
