JACKSON, Miss. — Lockers Manufacturing, a custom storage systems producer, is expanding its operations in Batesville, Mississippi. The company says the project represents a $9.7 million corporate investment and will create 25 new jobs.

Lockers Manufacturing broadened its product offerings in 2024 to include wood, phenolic, plastic laminate and high-density polyethylene lockers. The company provides fully customizable designs across a wide range of materials and technologies, allowing it to meet diverse customer needs.

In Batesville, Lockers Manufacturing is establishing two additional divisions, expanding upon its current wood and plastic locker production. To support its growth, the company is purchasing an existing building and adding new production capabilities.

The Mississippi Development Authority is providing assistance through the Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive, or MFLEX, program. The city of Batesville, Panola County and AccelerateMS also are assisting with the project.

Lockers Manufacturing has been a trusted leader in high-quality metal lockers since 2014. The company moved into its current Batesville location in 2021 when it purchased a 62,000-square-foot facility in the city’s original industrial zone.

"Lockers Manufacturing is well positioned to continue to make customized best-in-class locker products in the USA for decades to come," said Lockers Manufacturing CEO Keith Dunham. "As an industry titan, our vision and our mission are built to last, just like our products.”
