Yonkers, New York-based Pop Displays is investing $7.9 million to build a new manufacturing and distribution facility near Atlanta.
Georgia Gov. Brian P. Kemp announced the new Pop Displays plant in East Point will create 280 jobs.
“We are excited to welcome an innovative company like Pop Displays to Georgia,” Kemp said. “I am confident they will find world-class economic development resources—including a skilled workforce through our Quick Start program and a thriving logistics network in Fulton County—to support the company’s anticipated growth.”
Pop Displays designs and develops custom, permanent merchandising solutions in mixed materials. The company’s clients include L’Oreal, Maybelline, CVS, Walmart, Sally Beauty, Revlon and Physician’s Formula.
“As our company grew, we looked for the best location to expand our capacity. Atlanta was an easy choice with its robust infrastructure, favorable transportation hub and large pool of talented employees,” said Mike Bell, CEO of Pop Displays. “We look forward to being part of the East Point community as we continue to grow our business domestically and internationally.”
In addition to the full-time jobs, the company expects to hire 165 temporary positions at the new facility.
“The relocation of Pop Displays to Fulton County reflects the strategic location of our community for business,” said Samir Abdullahi, deputy director of Select Fulton. “Not only do we have proximity to some of the highest-quality talent in the Southeast, but also easy access to a majority of the U.S. population.”
The Georgia Department of Economic Development said the Pop Displays facility compliments the 203 manufacturing projects and 54 distribution centers lured to the state in the 2018 Fiscal Year.
Pop Displays USA, LLC specializes in custom permanent displays. The company was founded in 1953 as a direct manufacturer for the display industry, which was in its infancy at the time, and became one of the first full-service manufacturers in the industry.
