Economic shot in the arm for Winder: company to add 200 new jobs

It will mean more than 200 new jobs for Barrow County: Spring Mountain Center, a company that makes plumbing fixtures and home furniture, is investing $45 million into a manufacturing and distribution center in Barrow County.

“It’s a pleasure to welcome Spring Mountain Center to Georgia,” said Governor Kemp. “I am confident the Peach State’s readily available, skilled workforce and world-class logistics infrastructure will serve them well as they begin operations, and I look forward to the opportunities this facility will create for hardworking Georgians in Barrow County.”

“On behalf of Spring Mountain Center, we’d like to thank Governor Kemp and the state and local community for the warm welcome into Barrow County, Georgia. They’ve shown tremendous support for our decision to set up our headquarters right in Barrow County, and every conversation has been centered around creating jobs for the highly skilled workforce in the area,” said Jie Xiang, CEO of Spring Mountain Center. “We’re not only looking to create a more robust domestic supply chain and hundreds of jobs, but also be as close to the end-consumer as possible to understand their needs and wants to continue innovating in the home furniture and plumbing fixture industry.”
