BALDWYN, Miss. - Sutter St. Mfg., an upholstered furniture manufacturing subsidiary of Williams-Sonoma, will open a new manufacturing facility in Baldwyn, Mississippi.
 
Production of the plant, which will replace an existing facility, will begin in January and will enable the creation of 350 jobs over the next five years. Workers will be hired immediately.
 
“Our direct-to-consumer model enables us to offer custom upholstered furniture at an exceptional value and as a result, our business has grown significantly in recent years,” said Williams-Sonoma Executive Vice President and COO Dean Miller in a release. “We’re excited to bring 350 jobs to the region and further our commitment to supporting the tradition of building hand-crafted, high-quality furniture in America.”
 
The facility will produce upholstered furniture for Williams-Sonoma brands like Pottery Barn, Pottery Barn Kids, PBteen, West Elm and Williams-Sonoma Home.
 
In July 2017, Sutter St. expanded its operations in Claremont, N.C. - adding 72 jobs with salaries higher than the area average.
