Rockbridge tent manufacturer to expand, add 60 jobs - Virginia Business

Published November 10, 2023 by Katherine Schulte

Natural Bridge-based fabric shelter systems manufacturer XFactor Solutions Global has leased 34,000 square feet to expand in Rockbridge County, with plans to create 60 jobs, Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer announced Thursday.

The company, which acquired the assets of Creative Tent International in October, will use the industrial space at 70 Douglas Way in Natural Bridge Station for light manufacturing and warehousing of large commercial-grade tents, according to Carmen Elliott with Cushman & Wakefield | Thalhimer, who handled the lease negotiations on behalf of XFS Global.

The new facility offers an expanded footprint and enhanced capabilities including large format welding, fabric sewing and cutting, metal, weld and fabrication and the ability to kit products for customer requirements according to XFS’ website.

The 60 jobs will include welders, sewers and general assembly workers. XFS Global has a 10-year lease on the industrial space.

XFS Global moved Creative Tent International manufacturing from Las Vegas to Natural Bridge Station.

“Our new Virginia headquarters brings us much closer to our customers, and our new facility will greatly enhance our manufacturing capabilities,” Paul Wilcox, vice president of business development and market growth, said in a statement. “Being strategically located near our customers means reduced lead times, improved service team response times and further alignment with our strategic partners, ultimately leading to new product offerings, operational efficiencies and increased value for our commercial customers and their businesses.”

XFS Global serves military, government, commercial and industrial clients.
