CLARENDON HILLS, Ill. — Marge Carson reportedly opening a new 60,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Mexico.

According to Furniture Today, the “state-of-the-art” factory represents a "bold new chapter for the 80-year-old company." The move marks the first time in more than 30 years that Marge Carson has relocated its operations.

Janet Linly, president and CEO of Marge Carson, told Furniture Today that the move "bridges the company’s storied past with its ambitious future."

“This transition represents far more than a new address, it’s a new era,” Linly said. “For decades, our original facility nurtured creativity and craftsmanship. Now, we’ve taken everything we know and infused it into a space that allows us to innovate at the highest level while maintaining the artistry that defines the Marge Carson brand.”

According to the periodical, Linly said the company “thoroughly explored" building the factory in the U.S., but decided to build it in Mexico to "strengthen both U.S. and international collaboration.” 

“Rather than fully relocating, we chose a structure that allows us to support U.S. jobs, designers and suppliers, while continuing to grow our skilled artisan base in Mexico,” said Linly. “This approach lets us sustain excellence, efficiency and creativity across borders. It’s something that’s deeply aligned with who we are as a global brand.
