Garland has approved a deal with
Future Foam, Inc. to renovate and begin operations at 3000 W. Kingsley. Future Foam will spend $3 million renovating the 341,840 square feet facility and reactivate rail service to the facility with this project.
The building has remained vacant since 2015 when APEX Tool Group consolidated its operations from their Garland site into their South Carolina facility, resulting in the loss of 261 jobs.
Nearly $3 million will be invested in renovating the existing facility on the 19.69-acre site. An additional $6 million will be added to the City’s tax rolls from the transfer of operations and from additional machinery and equipment added through the expansion. Initial operations will create 104 full-time positions with plans for further expansion
