Home textiles maker Standard Fiber has expanded its domestic operation with a new manufacturing and distribution center, which will open this summer in the Atlanta metro.

The 180,000-square-foot warehouse and fulfillment facility—located in Forest Park, Georgia, just outside of Atlanta—will be designed to match Standard’s operation in Henderson, Nevada, where the company is headquartered.
“Our business model requires strategically located, multi-site capabilities to ensure reliability, increased customer delivery speed and reduced transportation costs,” said Rob Tillman, chief operating officer, Standard Fiber. “By replicating on the East Coast the excellent service levels we provide in the West out of Henderson, Nevada, we give our customers added confidence and peace of mind that makes working with us priceless.”
Tillman recently took on the newly created role of chief operating officer for Standard, overseeing its Henderson and Forest Park facilities, as well as one in Mexico. The company also has corporate locations in San Francisco; New York; Charlotte, North Carolina; the United Kingdom; Pakistan; India and Shanghai.

This new Atlanta area facility will specialize in drop-ship fulfillment, along with producing pillow and dog bed filling. Standard Fiber produces a wide range of home textiles and materials, including fill and fabric for pillows and comforters, as well as fully made sheets, blankets, bath textiles, curtains, pet products and more.
Last year, Standard Fiber partnered with Noble Biomaterials to incorporate Noble’s Ionic+ mineral microbial finish in its home textile products to reduce odor-causing bacteria in fabrics.
Beefing up its domestic capability plays into Standard’s sustainability push, which included launching a carbon offset initiative in 2022. To offset carbon produced by cargo containers it exports from Asia, the company pledged to fund accredited carbon reduction programs such as protecting rainforest ecosystems from deforestation in Brazil.
