First State Manufacturing Inc., officially opened the doors of its new warehouse and distribution center this week ribbon cutting ceremony attended by Senator Tom Carper, Delaware Economic Development Office Secretary Bernice Whaley and Milford Mayor, Bryan Shupe among others.
“This facility will not only allow us to serve our national customers but our international contracts,” said Sher Valenzuela, Vice President of First State Manufacturing. “We are looking forward to being able to move towards maintaining a small inventory of finished goods especially for our Turnova safety sleeve line and our Seating products that we are planning to manufacture here in Milford Delaware.”
“We are blessed to have Senator Carper join us today,” Valenzuela stated. “Fifteen years ago, as an enterprising, entrepreneurial business, we contacted then Gov. Carper and asked for assistance in reaching out to Amtrak. Our phone rang within seconds of our outreach. This facility is the culmination of what that call began for us as Delaware manufacturers of sewn goods and upholstery.”
First State Manufacturing’s products include carpet refurbishment; mass transit seating, V22 seats, plugs and covers; C17 seating solutions; C5 refurbishment; missile and truck covers and pharmaceutical supplies.
